Mastodon shifts to nonprofit ownership, calls for $5M in donations to expand.
His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.
I don't use Mastadon cause I don't care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.

So uh... Mastodon will not have a moderation team?
I mean this makes sense, but how exactly is after-stopping-moderation Meta different then?
Interesting way to say you don't understand federalisation. While using a federated platform.
Interesting way to be wrong. While thinking you're being correct.
I think you know what they meant. "Mastodon" is not a platform, it is essentially a protocol. You cannot have a moderation team for Mastodon by design. The individual instances of Mastodon CAN have moderation and many of them do. That's why you pick an instance to register an account under instead of going to "mastodon.com" and signing up on the front page.
The article and move isn't about moderation of the content, it's about development of the platform itself.
Do you think Eugen has been personally moderating all Mastodon instances up until now?
He hasn't. Obviously the moderation system has nothing to do with what is being discussed here.
