Mastodon announces transition to non-profit structure | TechCrunch
(techcrunch.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I'd encourage people to read the article, because it's pretty no-nonsense and has some other interesting details and background information. It's not very long, either!
But here's the important part that the headline speaks of:

The important thing here is this avoids what happened with (and sorry i have to mention this ) #wordpress where one guy personally ran the org that guided the development of the software and then created dependencies on a central site he personally owns to control updates and access to plugins
Ownership of #trademark terms are important and open structures for things like.joinmastodon.org is as well
