Here's a TechCrunch article on the topic too.

First of all I love this idea, especially for nonprofits, universities and governments.

My biggest question is how moderation will work. The "point" of federation is that each instance can moderate their own way, but presumably the paid moderation will be in the style of mastodon.social, which isn't bad, but not exactly in the spirit of the Fediverse.

In a recent post, we shared that one of our priorities for 2025 is to establish a more sustainable financial base for the Mastodon organisation.

In 2024, Mastodon gGmbH took over hosting of the European Commission’s Mastodon service. We also signed a support contract with the state of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany. More recently, we started working with the city of Blois, in France. While all of these are public institutions, we’re also very proud having added AltStore as a customer in the last few weeks.
