All I'm saying is generally when those in big tech establish a non profit, it's for the wrong reasons, or it eventually becomes the wrong reasons. Look at open AI. They had a non profit and and profit side. The non profit side essentially controlled with the for profit side did, then when they ousted the CEO for doing things that were clearly in the interest of profit over the betterment of society, the CEO had set it up so that without him the open AI ship began to sink. Then those on the board that were against him were ousted from the board. It was a hostile takeover.

I'm not saying that's going to happen with mastadon, I'm just saying they have some key players that are investors and/or long time workers in big tech and it puts a bad taste in my mouth.
