We’re particularly delighted to see the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu include a call to “strengthen the open source social media space by supporting open and decentralised social media solutions and platforms. The Commission currently runs a #Mastodon instance, which hosts the Commission’s presence and plans to extend the users basis to EU institutions.”

@Mastodon@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu i miss a clear statement that Software developed with public money MUST remain public. Also a condemnation of Leeching. A lot of open source software is used by governments and commercial entitys who never contribute anything to its development or the supporting community's.

@Mastodon@mastodon.social Yes, thank you! With a mad emperor in the USA, finally even the most americanophile politicians must have realised that it might not be a great thing to be so absolutely dependent on US tech.

@Mastodon@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Using open source to serve political interests out of convenience. This isn't the first time open source has been used as a banner of sovereignty.

Rare EU W? Open-Source software is unfathomably important in this modern age of mass-surveillance by corporation and government. I would also say E2EE and file directory encryption are too, but that is a conversation for another day. @Mastodon@mastodon.social

@Mastodon@mastodon.social However, with the Digital Omnibus (VII), the EU wants to loosen the rules on AI, and the only way to prevent it is to participate in the survey - in the link - provided by the old rules... https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/consultations/targeted-consultation-draft-guidelines-classification-high-risk-artificial-intelligence-systems Let's make our voice heard!

@Mastodon@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @veronica@explains.social @feld@friedcheese.us I left Twitter & Meta's closed platforms a long time ago. Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy. People who are not savvy are locked into the ( #Facebook / #Instagram / #Twitter / #X ) walled gardens, because of the Network effect. ("I can't leave Facebook! All my friends are on Facebook!") Here's a plan of action: 1) Place ads on Facebook / Twitter explaining the benefits of Mastodon. Freedom from censorship and algorithms. A community owned, open social media platform. 2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook / Twitter and deleting their Facebook / Twitter account. 3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right Mastodon instance. 4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a random Mastodon instance for them. 5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook/Twitter migration registry. 6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data. 7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook/Twitter connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️
