Sad to hear if this pushes you to be more US-centric. Have loved that you've based from Germany, not just for people, but for législation as well.

@iju @Mastodon we are still EU-centric, the goal for the US structure is to be able to gather more funding in the US, the german structure remains our operating entity

@renchap @Mastodon

I'm just hoping this doesn't end up being the first step of many. But time will tell, I suppose. Would hope the German regulators could be reasoned with, but of course simply the fact that this happened must eat some confidence on future.

@iju @Mastodon I do not think we plan to move operations to the US, even if we do not get the non profit status back in Germany. As explained il the blog post. We never used the status to get tax-free donations, so there it is not really mandatory for us.

@renchap @Mastodon

Just worried that the US-non profit might get pressure from donators from US-legistlation, or that the board of directors start to influence the direction of the development.

@iju @renchap @Mastodon Bingo!

That's also one of my concerns and I hope it's not a prelude to the entire operation to move to the US as it would be a very bad thing in the long run.

@joeo10 @iju @Mastodon its not.
