Mastodon GmbH
59/100Mixed fit
on a balanced view of all values
Who runs and funds it: Good. Mastodon's about page says mastodon.social is run by Mastodon GmbH, a German company subject to the EU Digital Services Act, after the project's earlier non-profit gGmbH status was lost when Germany removed software projects from eligibility; a separately incorporated US 501(c)(3), Mastodon Inc., now supports the project's growth and accepts tax-deductible donations. source↗ 2026-08
