@Mastodon

Welcome #Mastodon to being an American (nonprofit) #company then.

[#]FromTheFryingPanIntoTheFire

Or "Vom Regen in die Traufe" as we say in #Germany.

Really wish u the best of luck, but I'm kinda afraid that won't be enough.

@berlinfokus @Mastodon the Zuck will probably try the same shit he tries with TikTok. If he can't have it he pressures the government to ban it.

@koyu @Mastodon

That would be less of a problem.

[#]Mastodon would see that coming & just move on. (Somewhere else.)

But becoming integrated into the whole "#homefront" security in the #USA will not be visible. And it won't happen over night.

@berlinfokus @Mastodon operations remain in Germany. I don't think anyone at Mastodon wants to serve NSA.

We should instead thank the Mastodon team for lifting ambiguity and confirming their intention to remain free.

@how @Mastodon

It is not so much a question of "wants to" but rather "has to".

I don't question their motiv and think they're really cool.

Just hope they are transparent about any attempt to force them to do shit they shouldn't.

And to fucking leave if necessary.

Really have no agency in this. Just wishes.
