The organization has already transitioned to a nonprofit in the U.S. but is still working to set up a nonprofit in Belgium, or an AISBL, to replace the German entity, which lost its nonprofit status last year. Once established, the Belgian nonprofit will be the future home of the organization. In the meantime, the U.S.-based 501©(3) c nonprofit will own the trademark and other assets.
Very important step.
Respect. He built something bigger than him and then knew that it was time to transition.
and yet i still dont know how to use mastodon
What are you struggling with? Look for a server (that isn’t mastodon.social) that fits your interests, sign up, browse the local or global timeline, follow interesing people, have fun!
Not OP, but…
Finding a single server that fits my interests is the first stumbling block. I follow 30-40 communities here, so I need to pick just one focus, which kinda sucks, TBF.
So I picked one, It was too quiet, but it was a start, then I started looking for interesting people. Hardly anyone famous, the few that I did find ended up being the ones that turned out to be creeps in the news, even assuming they were real accounts, which is probably a generous assumption. When I finally found the few people I wanted to follow, they gradually disappeared over time to Bluesky.
WIth their community lines being split per server and no discovery other than randomly finding someone with your tastes while bebopping around on your server. It wasn’t a good experience.
You know people told me to do this with Lemmy and I ended up choosing a lemmy.ml . I found out later I guess that’s the Antichrist and I shouldn’t have done that. What’s the best way to understand what server is kosher?
Mastodon.social, I guess?
(I’m either right or someone will show up to correct me shortly, as per Murphy’s law :P)
@happydoors @MousePotatoDoesStuff no, Murphy’s law is whatever can go wrong will.
Sorry, my bad. I was thinking of Cole’s Law.
But will they continue to moderate content by German leftist standards?
