Mastodon now a non-profit organisation
blog.joinmastodon.org
In June, I was able to officially register Mastodon gGmbH after nearly 8 months of legal work (“gGmbH” means “non-profit limited liability company”). A non-profit limited liability company in Germany is structered and operates similarly to a for-profit limited liability company with a few key differences. The founding document of the company is written such that the activity of the company is working towards goals that benefit the public; the shareholders may not receive any revenue from the company’s activities and can at most withdraw the funds that they originally paid in; employees may not receive extraordinarily high wages; and the company can receive donations which are then tax-free, although any other income that does not fit the definition of a donation continues to incur various taxes.

Eugen Rochkok, Mastodon softwarearen sortzailea eta instantzia handienaren mantentzailea denak, Mastodon irabazi asmorik gabeko erakunde bihurtu du. Eugenek bere soldata bertatik jasotzen du.

Azkenaldian Eugenek kritika batzuk jaso ditu batez ere mastodon.social instantzia kudeatzeko moduagatik eta edozein dirua-iturri onartzeagatik, baita instantziaren kode etikoa betetzen ez duten iragarleengandik ere: https://seedy.xyz/posts/0005-open-letter/

Eta zuk, zein iritzi duzu Mastodon instantzien dibertsitate eta banaketari buruz? Eugenen erabakiren bat duzu? Ona edo txarra iruditu zitzaizun? Aldaketa honek zer suposa dezake orain artekoarekin alderatuta?

    Ez dut arazorik ikusten erakundearekin. Pertsona horrekiko, ez dut ezer gehiago edo hobeagoa espero. Arrazoia ez dut hemen emango.
