It mostly depends on the legal framework of each countries. I know in Europe a lot of FOSS non-profits are registered as such, with legal status, even sometimes tax deduction for donations.

I guess that will come in the coming months for some.

Thank you, the word "non-profit" was completely eluding my brain while writing that.

Yeah I hope a lot of the larger or more serious instances will look into that going forward, very curious to see what the landscape of all this looks like in a few months.

If Mastodon can be any indication for the future, I've seen a lot of European non-profits launch their own Mastodon instances.
