Eugen's vision for Mastodon was centered on user choice, community, and freedom. Now, we're formalizing that commitment with the formation of a new European non-profit entity. Eugen will transition to an alternative role in the team, with a new CEO to be announced very soon. Stay tuned for updates on these changes.

Today Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership. We're transferring ownership of key assets to a new, European not-for-profit entity, ensuring our mission remains true to a decentralised social web, not corporate control.

Excellente nouvelle

@Mastodon

"The people should own the town square"

Who could say it any better? Social media has to be a part of our public infrastructure or else it is just a tool of public manipulation and oppression.

It is antithetical for social media to be owned by a corporation.

@Mastodon I think hosting Mastodon in Switzerland and Germany is the best option for keeping data private. These countries have strong data protection laws, so it makes sense for ensuring our info stays safe.

@Mastodon
it's difficult to take these steps right, with all the legal and organizational implications they carry.

I wish you good luck.

@Mastodon

Can you please help me understand one thing ... I am reading this as part of your announcement ....

"We will continue day-to-day operations through the Mastodon GmbH for-profit entity, which will become wholly owned by the new European not-for-profit entity"

How can a not-for-profit entity (the new one) own a for-profit one (Mastodon GmbH) ? It sounds like a contradiction to me

Thanks for the clarification

@Mastodon

Mastodon is the platform that deserves our presence and attention (to followers over the skies).

Mastodon will "transfer ownership of key Mastodon ecosystem and platform components [ ] to a new non-profit organization, affirming the intent that Mastodon should not be owned or controlled by a single individual."

"where people can build [] online communities free from ads, data exploitation, manipulative algorithms or corporate monopolies."
