#2Funny that someone would take an alternative to Twitter and incorporate it in the western country that restricts speech the most.

Why is that funny? It's supposed to be a substitute, not something entirely different altogether.

Exactly, there are many examples of people in Germany being arrested at gun point for opening their mouth and speaking. Dumb move. USA and Japan are the only logical options for this entity setup.

In practice the content that can be challenged under NetzDG is scoped and focused on hate speech and terrorism. While news outlets originally latched onto the "they crush free speech" soundbite, it's really a law to acknowledge the responsibility of the publishing platform for what they're bringing to the world.

What gives you the impression that "maximized free speech" is the goal of Mastodon?

#10That's pretty cool (and also pretty ridiculous that it took 8 months). I'm kinda confused by the last part:
> Since both Patreon and our custom sponsorship platform are based around rewards to patrons/sponsors, they cannot be classified as donations, so there are no changes to how those are taxed.
So when German non-profits want to hand out merch in exchange for a specific donation amount, non-profit has to pay for-profit taxes on that?
