Editing to avoid confusion

Do not confuse Open Collective Foundation with Open Source Collective: https://opencollective.com/opensource/updates/regarding-the-announcement-to-dissolve-open-collective-foundation

This is even more confusing because the org behind Open Collective (opencollective.com) is called " Open Source Collective" whereas the org behind Open Source Collective (oscollective.org) is called Open Collective Foundation.

I believe the author here is confused as well

EDIT: I'm even more confused. Links from oscollective.org point back to opencollective.com. ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

From Regarding the announcement to dissolve Open Collective Foundation:

Please be assured Open Source Collective is not affected and will continue to operate as usual. ... The similarity in our names stems from a common origin, as the founders of Open Source Collective were also involved in creating the fiscal hosts Open Collective Foundation and Open Collective Europe.

Mastodon.world's open collective fiscal host is Open Collective Europe. So it seems that would be fine?

At this point I'm too confused to figure it out :D
