Left some comments in the /r/Mastodon subreddit (shameless plug but please come and join us if you have interest in talking further about the project and its wider ecosystem); I'll copy and sum up here: It's great they're keeping everything 501c3, this is definitely a solid foundation for the future of the project. It's very unfortunate to hear about the German status being withdrawn but maybe that's just a temporary operating hiccup. Either way, encouraging news in general. I'm am seeing some rumbles on Masto about particular chosen board members. I don't have a take on this other than to note that 501c3 boards are kind of just people who exist and set direction but they don't really have a lot of hands on involvement most of the time /shrug If anyone on the board or project is watching this space, please set up a Mastodon-as-a-service and offer your software, completely managed, as a turnkey "bring your own domain name" sort of offering like Google Workspace / O365 but for social. Good way to bring money in and you can get other nonprofit humanitarian orgs on the AP ecosystem.

  and those are rad and I wish them a lot of success. There could definitely be another org who operates in the nonprofit space. People want to be "on Mastodon" but people in orgs that can really showcase the potential of the Fedi generally have little interest or technical bandwidth to operate heavy and fragile rails/postgres apps.
