do you have any advice on how i should organize maastodon legally/administratively (with more than just me)? (context: France)
@CobaltVelvet I don't but im curious about anything if you receive something.
@CobaltVelvet not sure what you mean but not being in America is a +1. what do you mean btw?
@chloe like, which kind of legal entity we should have and how it should be organized (mostly asking people used to french laws or legal stuff)
@CobaltVelvet ah, do you really need one? can't it just be a website?
@chloe it's mostly to safely have more people involved and manage the money properly
with such thing it wouldn't really be "mine" anymore, which has downsides but also many upsides
@CobaltVelvet fair. i guess it would mean that if something were to happen you wouldn't be directly responsible, your organization would be, right?
@chloe yes, and also i can progressively reduce my involvement as i feel the need
really i don't want to manage a business, i have fun building things but then i lose interest or get overwhelmed. i'd be much better just keeping some code up to date.
tbh i'm kinda tempted to make another non-profit
because of the taxes, yes, but also it's quite easy to do in France
@CobaltVelvet a non-profit that pays you a wage is a good way to support yourself while keeping out of the icky stuff; it may help around gdpr, but it'd be nice to get some proper advice there, i worry anything the eff come up with won't be able to cover third party services built around masto
Avec l'idée d'être rémunéré·e, une scop ?
Sinon asso loi 1901 ?
(y'a possibilité d'être salariée d'une asso loi 1901 d'ailleurs, non ?)
@Nocta oui, pour l'instant je pense plutôt à faire ça
j'avais oublié qu'il y avait un statut spécial pour les scop, je vais me renseigner merci
@Nocta @CobaltVelvet Si le but n'est pas d'en faire un business l'asso 1901 est clairement simple et rapide.
Après si tu veux te faire un peu de pognon dessus il y a moyen d'avoir un employé dans l'asso mais il me semble qu'il y a des restrictions assez chiante pour le coup mais pas impossible à outrepasser.
@CobaltVelvet why not turn it into a #PlatformCoop ;)
@CobaltVelvet Probably a SAS..
