Speaking of companies with strong morals, Mastodon is headed to a new nonprofit org:
Simply, we are going to transfer ownership of key Mastodon ecosystem and platform components (including name and copyrights, among other assets) to a new non-profit organization, affirming the intent that Mastodon should not be owned or controlled by a single individual.
(They used to have nonprofit status in Germany, but it was stripped last year for bureaucratic reasons.)
Ceding individual control of a major social network is huge in the context of Musk’s X and Zuckerberg’s Meta. Good on CEO Eugen Rochko.
