Mastodon gHmbH? What happened there? Was he naming the company and somehow fell on the keyboard?

No it's not. It's a gGmbH. Notice the leading "g". It's a nonprofit company.

https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeinn%C3%BCtzige_GmbH

Unfortunately there is no English translation of that page on Wikipedia.

Let's just call it a nonprofit.

Lmfao, no clue why you're being downvoted so much. It's absolutely true that the camel-case here looks like a clusterfuck, even when it's easily explained.

@Lost_My_Mind @TheTechnician27 A gGmbH is roughly comparable to a PBLLC.
