"Germany is once again living up to its reputation as a technology-hostile and bureaucratic tech hub. This time it has hit Mastodon gGmbH, a project that is the driving force behind new and community-oriented social networks in the Fediverse. This non-profit GmbH has been stripped of its non-profit status by the tax office - whereupon the project has now founded a non-profit organization in the USA in order to continue collecting tax-exempt donations. Apparently, this is easier in the USA if obstacles are placed in the way of the project despite its success over the last two years."
