I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US unlike almost every other social media platform out there.
It is central that you do not involve any American citizens in the board of directors too.
@vruz The board of the 501c3 does not have any legal power over the German entity which holds all the assets. This is a concern I've already had in mind.
I can obviously imagine the concern has crossed your mind, but the idea that the German legal system can stop an insider attack seems not very well thought out.
@vruz I'll repeat, separate entity. They're not "inside"--except as trusted advisors and mentors.
