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. #MastodonNonProfithttps://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/the-people-should-own-the-town-square/

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. #MastodonNonProfit

@Mastodon Let's go Mastodon! It was a very interesting blog post, I greatly enjoyed reading it. Especially in light of the new changes in Metas moderation policies and Trumps election, I believe we absolutely need a free alternative based in Europe.

@MastodonHonestly, I'd love to see Mastodon as a viable Twitter alternative, but by now I think it never will be. It's a completely different experience. When I open Mastodon, I see a maze of text, 3rd degree replies to I don't know what, and a star button that essentially nobody but me uses, because it does (almost) nothing.I understand that some people like this type of experience, but me (and a lot of other ex twitter users who went to bluesky instead) would've preferred something else.

@Mastodon Great to see the continued commitment to open, decentralised technologies in the EU specifically. We have known for a long time, but it feels more prevalent than ever, that social media can not be controlled by the US. Looking forward to it!

@Mastodon Mastodon should come up with a way that every user could buy its own stake of Mastodon. A stake that should be equal with no possibility of anyone having more power than anyone else. And yes come to me with "communist" jokes here but that is how it should be.

@Mastodon "We believe social media should help users build bridges, not walls. " yeah right. The rampant fediblocking is nothing but just a wall. Mastodon just ain't go a valid alternative to big tech unless they seriously change their blocking and censorship policies.

@Mastodon Under what comes next, you are still promoting the "Fediscovery" project.Despite it being described as supporting multiple "discovery providers", the text says »This will specify how an instance will “feed” content to a discovery provider to index. And how a discovery provider can be queried to actually search and discover content.«Nothing is being said about why there would ever be a need for a more than a few big providers, once it is established that the big ones "work". As usual, centralization is looming here, by a few corps "generously" offering high-speed "discovery" for "free". Also, nothing is said about providers sharing results of the indexing, to enable true fediverse-wide search - instead, the proposal almost inevitably points to a set of a few providers that everybody needs to feed if they want posts to be found."Hope" will not change that hence just saying »We want to specify how a discovery provider works and interfaces with a Fediverse server instance. We hope to inspire several competing implementations of the specification.« does not make much sense.Nothing is said about who outside of the Fediverse gets to query a provider, or to process the data that has been extracted from a fediverse server feed - and for which purposes. It's even expressly mentioned that »These “providers” might serve other purposes than just search and discovery«»The protocols and implementations will respect user privacy«, but the text only offers "shoulds": »Our reference implementation will respect this setting and only ingest content from creators who opted in to discovery in the first place.« (note the telling words "respect" and "ingest" here, it does not even seem consensus that providers are "fed" by Fediverse servers). »All other information a discovery provider gathers should be anonymous.« Should?»Fediverse Discovery Providers should only ever index content clearly marked as “public”.« Should?»Fediverse Discovery Providers should honor these settings and only index user data and content from users who have opted-into that.« Should?Another red flag: »This means we might not always be able to incorporate all the feedback we get into the very first draft of everything we publish. But rest assured that we are committed to continue working on this even after this first project has ended, so we will be able to make adjustments later on.«More privacy after the first implementation is out? And no: With Mastodon being the driver of this, and with the current wording, we can not "rest assured".

@Mastodon It seems rare that American programmers do public service things like this. Makes me kind of ashamed. I guess the European system is different? That programmers can find themselves with the free time for large projects without getting kicked out of their homes for not paying the rent.

@Mastodon Please explain new Euro not-for-profit organization. Is this a trust that controls the mission?"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. The Mastodon GmbH entity automatically became a for-profit as a result of its charitable status being stripped away in Germany. The existing US-based non-profit entity, the 501(c)(3), will continue to function as a fundraising hub."

@Mastodon 'My Paranoia'. One can easily follow what the Mar A Lago Criminal can and will do. And we've seen what the oligarchy did when faced with his actions. I want, very much, for Mastodon to succeed but too much freedom, despite its Management location in Europe, won't hold water if he decides to censor us in the U.S. I do hope that is a consideration that has been explored. Between AI and the right wing Media, even now, we face the hints of a 'People's Observer". Lies A Plenty!

@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 This is great.What I find amazing and very frustrating is that even when opinion journalists address these issues seriously and thoughtfully they almost always fail to mention Mastodon -- as here: "We need to support the creation of other platforms that are designed not to amplify lies and hate, or to just suck our personal data and sell us things, but to promote a better conversation."https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/12/elon-musk-and-the-new-world-order-the-hijacking-of-the-global-conversation

@Mastodon whew! this is good. this is really, really good. had no idea Germany stripped y’all of the non-profit status and that’s why you had to incorporate in the US. so this will ensure the USA has no jurisdiction over Mastodon the software company, the software, correct?the only quibble would be the TLDs: .social and .online are controlled by USA providers. there’s still vulnerability to abuse of power with the TLDs being under USA jurisdiction.

@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 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."
