Today Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership.

@Mastodon Great & appreciated Mastodon team

@pchestek @richlv @Mastodon the board and officers will be announced as part of this process. The trademark questions will be resolved (transparently) as part of this process. The GmbH currently has employees so continues to exist to cover them. This is a transition and your questions are valid and useful, but I don’t have answers at this stage as the end state is not fully set (the blog post states we are looking into the correct jurisdictions etc). Thanks!

@Mastodon It would be great, if there was a Patreon tier between 1 and 8 Dollars/Euros. Maybe 4?

@Mastodon what your are describing sounds a lot like steward-ownership! https://purpose-economy.org/en/whats-steward-ownership/
Is this something you would/could consider? Resp. what you were looking for?

@Mastodon Why not connect with #bsky ? They write: "Why not use ActivityPub? ActivityPub is a federated social networking technology popularized by Mastodon. Account portability is a major reason why we chose to build a separate protocol."

Anybody thinking of building bridges between those two protocols?

#activitypub
#atprotocol

@Mastodon people on this thread are throwing around ideas to inspire more people to join: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/1ihqyme/how_to_bring_more_people_onto_mastodon/

Do you have any initiatives planned to stir up new active users?
