@b_cavello @mekkaokereke Cool, so that's my same understanding. Also, I didn't read any of this as "Mastodon, GmbH" (or whatever it is) has moved to the US and has a new Board.

A NEW and unrelated US Charitable foundation has been formed to fundraise for and support Mastodon GmbH FROM the US, which just allows US'ians to get a tax slip for their support.

I don't think it can actually touch the product or its currently-two-almost-three developers?

@mekkaokereke

Honest question, since I'm in Canada and I know about this much -->.<-- about non-profit boards here - can the Board of this org end up with their hands in the developers' work?

Seeing there's a lot of anxiety over who some of these people are, and and immediate leap to "therefore, enshittification ensues ..." in the platform itself.

But an NFP Board (Canadian) is primarily concerned with its fundraising and budgeting, and advising the CEO - not directing projects. Same here?

@jackwilliambell done - rojogato.com

We have just defederated from an instance running a "blockbot" which was being used to name, and hence draw further harassment to, any fedizen who blocked any user of that instance.

I'd like to invite reports of other such bots, should our members discover them. I can think of a few ways that's a violation of our rules and just basic ethical behaviour in general.
