And you know what, I’m tired of playing defense.

I’d like to know who the anonymous coward running the @8124@mastodon.social account is.

That person is defending Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, slandering and attempting to silence voices that oppose it (and those trying to get aid to the Palestinian people), and generally apologising for and complicit in genocide all while maintaining their anonymity. If anyone should be losing their job, it’s that person, not Fabio.

Feel free to DM me for my Signal if you have any information as they should experience consequences for their actions.

Any information you provide will be kept in confidence.

And to the @Mastodon admins: consider this a formal complaint about an account that is engaged in genocide denial, genocide apologism, and complicity in genocide. I look forward to seeing what action, if any, you take, as does history.

@aral Apparently #MastodonGGMBH cares more about money than they care about #Mastodon.

Meta did this? Mastodon gGmbH’s partner Meta at the Social Web Foundation?

But aren’t Mastodon gGmbH the good guys? I can’t see how they’d ever partner with Meta if this were true.

No, no, this must be fake news.

(Otherwise, what would it say about Mastodon gGmbH and the Social Web Foundation?)

So this is apparently NOT enough for mastodon.social to defederate Threads.

What a complete and utter betrayal.

Hey, anyone know if mastodon.social still federates with Meta’s Threads?

(Assuming they have some common decency and don’t but just wanted to make sure.)

Fediversum ägs inte av nåt storföretagsmonopol. Men till skillnad från andra sociala medier är det helt gratis att använda. Där finns ingen reklam, inga riskkapitalister som investerare, ingen spårning av användarna, inget kontrollerande företag och ett välkomnade och öppet samtalsklimat. Men där finns företag, aktieägare, reklam på en del servrar (instanser) och jobbiga människor samt programvaror som inte alltid är de mest användarvänliga.

@zvavybir Your approach & the thought of switching instances somehow remind me of moving from #Whatsapp to #Signal and eventually having to have both 😅
(as the critical mass has not seemed to be reached yet)

#Mastodon currently seems to face a more immediate, more dramatic issue, though.

The active #users & #server count are continuously dropping:

Just tried the official #mastodon app.

Whoever makes this has perfect 20/20 vision. There are no options to increase font size, and CMD+/- are ignored.

Terrible.

Looks like Mastodon gGmbH’s latest moves are adored by folks who work at surveillance capitalists like Medium and Google.

Good job, Mastodon gGmbH… you’re doing amazing, sweetie!

Worrying: #MastodonGGmbH had its non-profit status revoked in Germany.

Hopefully this is an egregious mistake by the authorities and gets overturned quickly. In the meanwhile, it must be difficult to do any financial planning without knowing what the tax liabilities will be.

A year ago I recommended asking for help from people with more experience.

Going at it alone with a new USA entity sounds like the opposite direction was chosen.

“The Kansas Reflector published an artical about Meta censoring environmental articles about climate change — deeming them ‘too controversial’.

Facebook then censored the article about Facebook censorship, and then after an independent site published a copy of the climate change article, Facebook censored it too.”

Welcome to the fediverse, friend.

If you’re on mastodon.social, I would highly recommend that you switch to a different server that protects its people instead of exposing them to a well-known bad actor like Facebook/Meta via Threads.

For alternatives, see: https://fedipact.veganism.social

And remember that Mastodon is not the fediverse. The fediverse is much more than just Mastodon and definitely more so than mastodon.social and Mastodon gGmbH.

Both #EugenGargron @Gargron and the CEO of Mastodon gGmbH have me #Blocked, so I can't help

Sorry

Can someone please ask the CEO of Mastodon gGmbH to defederate with Threads? I used to know Eugen who ran the instance and could have asked him myself but I don’t know the CEO of Mastodon gGmbH.

#mastodonGGMBH #mastodonDotSocial #mastodonSocial #CEO #threads #meta #facebook #surveillanceCapitalism #peopleFarming #mastodon #fediverse

The fediverse is much more than what Mastodon (and most definitely Mastodon gGmbH) allows it to be.

Don’t let folks who see nothing wrong with getting into bed with a documented bad actor like Meta/Facebook limit the potential of this fledgling network for short-term dopamine hits from “number goes up!”

A belated happy birthday to #MastodonGGmbH, which was founded around 2021-06-02. (Festa della Repubblica in Italy! What an auspicious day for a future without monarchs.)

I've updated Wikidata:

And thanks to val there's now an issue asking about the annual report for 2022.

@testing @feditips

I've used
https://www.handelsregister.de and searched for the HRB mentioned at https://mastodon.social/about with Register Court "Berlin(Charlottenburg)".

This company is really non-profit. It is created that way.

@strypey I agree, but at the moment the #MastodonGGmbH #OpenCollective is one of the easiest ways to fund a #MastoDev, including people who work on forks. See where the money goes:
https://opencollective.com/mastodon

Of course there are other #fediverse projects too, but the case for #SocialCoop financial contributions is most compelling for software the coop relies on.
