Mastodon<p>Hey friends! It’s nearly time for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FOSDEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FOSDEM</span></a>, the annual free and open source event in Brussels. This weekend, the Mastodon team will be based in building H. </p><p>We’ll be raising funds for the project with some of our merch - beautiful limited edition winter mugs, pins, and t-shirts. We’ll also have fun stickers to share for free, so you can show your support for Mastodon everywhere!</p><p>(just so you know: we’re a bit short on larger t-shirt sizes, so come early if you want to buy one of those)</p>

Mastodon<p>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. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MastodonNonProfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MastodonNonProfit</span></a></p>
Mastodon<p>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. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MastodonNonProfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MastodonNonProfit</span></a></p><p><a href="https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/the-people-should-own-the-town-square/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/</span><span class="invisible">the-people-should-own-the-town-square/</span></a></p>
