I am happy to reveal that a non-profit legal entity for Mastodon, Mastodon gGmbH, is in the process of being entered into the German company register.

For context, I have been operating as a sole proprietor so far.

It's been in the works for 8 months but I didn't want to announce anything until everything was finalized just in case it didn't work out. Yesterday, I paid in the starting capital.

It wouldn't be possible without the help and advice of @mellifluousbox. More to follow in blog form.

Switching over to my new instance @bnys, so feel free to follow me there!!

Okay I'm finally gonna do it. I'm finally going to start my own instance. Anyone have a solid block list for me to start from?

Dear mastodon.nl users - so far maintaining mastodon.nl has just been a project I've done out of my own pocket. I would be okay to keep providing the service at cost if we can find a way to cover the hosting + domain costs (~15eu/month). Who would be willing to donate a small amount per month to keep using mastodon.nl?

For all the users of mastodon.nl - if you see any conspiracy theorists, sex ads, racism or other offensive toots - please report them and I'll try to take appropriate action. Let's keep this instance open and clean. @jasper @jeroenpraat
