Michiel Leenaars ( @michiel ) on fire 🔥 about Mario Dhragi, "This is the second time he is trying to screw the EU". 🇪🇺
Criticizing him for trying to build EU capitalist "unicorns"💰🦄 instead of opensource and open protocols. :opensource: :fedi:

#Fediforum: "Talk of #feeds was everywhere. I made a note to myself throughout the conference.
It's amazing how big the feeds theme is. Feed ownership, customization, and sharing. All powered by #openprotocols."

Jetzt meet up mit Renate Nikolay, stellvertretende Generaldirektorin der DG Connect zur #EU #Digitalpolitik

Ob Digitale Souveränität, KI- und #Plattformregulierung Wettbewerb im Internet, bei Breitband- und Mobilfunk oder beim Grundrechtsschutz: EU-Kommission, Rat und Parlament haben in den vergangenen Jahren einen Großteil des Rechtsrahmens modernisiert oder sind noch dabei.

#opensource und #openprotocols sind bisher leider keine Themen.

Meet up auf der republica. Menschen sitzen im Kreis und reden zusammen.

No, I am not saying that. There are fundamental differences:

* #Fastmail is not a monopoly trying to break all standards, but works just on the open protocols (remember, #OpenProtocols are more important than #OpenSource)

* you are a customer of Fastmail not a product being sold to the advertisers, the real customers of Google.

* if anything wrong happens with Fastmail, you can just take your emails and go elsewhere; not so easy with Google

I was discussing #openProtocols earlier, musing on how to explain them to lay people. This came out of my mouth at some point and I though it was funny but apt.

If you were an investor which would you rather invest in:

It does not matter so much if it is #SOLID or #ActivityPub or both or any.

But the Vision matters most in these dark times

„The Vision of a new World“ by @timbl

„That said, there is clearly a massive revolution taking place, and a huge amount of value being created. That value is primarily for individuals who are have obstacles of today;s world they may have taken for granted being removed, and new power to granted. But then immediately individuals use that power to make and work in communities oof all scales, from pairs through groups to nation-sized movements.“

"We're A New Social, a new #nonprofit organization focused on building cross-protocol tools and services for the #OpenSocial web…We need to have…The Last #NetworkEffect, where users are on a combined network using platforms embracing #OpenProtocols. This enables people to choose platforms based on their needs rather than how many users are active on them."

We who value #FLOSS, #openTech, #openProtocols can't fail to notice how dearly we need one another's support. So when I hear "join our Discord"* from a supposedly #freedomTech project my heart sinks. We should feed the proprietary silo? Deny our community the very freedom and joy of using open tech? Oppose our own work and values? How sad, how ridiculous. No! We must turn towards our #freedomTech cousins.

And less than a day after sharing my #productivity ecosystem it’s changed a bit, now I’m trying out #CanaryMail

The nice thing about #iCloud syncing, the iCloud interoperability between #Apple’s platforms and #Windows, and #OpenProtocols like #SMTP and #IMAP is that they make a switch like this trivial, which greatly benefits users

That’s the nice thing about the #OpenWeb

#AudreyTang : "#Prosocial media also addresses the centralization of #socialmedia platforms and the resulting unhealthy concentration of curation power in the hands of a few tech giants.

#Decentralization holds the promise of a more democratic internet, where people have greater control over their data and online experiences, leading to a proliferation of local communities, all interconnected through #openprotocols."

Embrace the Shift to ‘Prosocial Media’
Engagement and profits on social platforms are built on fomenting dissatisfaction and disinformation—but there’s a better alternative.

Open protocols and open source let you create some weird, wonderful and wacky things, such as...

A 2D Zelda meets virtual office space?

workadventu.re/

I... think I'd need to try this to decide if it was actually a thing that... worked, but I kind of love the concept! They're apparently using Matrix under the hood for the comms and calls part.

Has anyone actually tried this out?

Edit: Thank you everyone! I will host Kiwi IRC and Converse.js.
On my devices I already use @thunderbird for emails and @pidgin for IM, it is just I like to self host stuff as a hobby too.

You guys know of a web based (self host) #IRC and #XMPP client? Much like @pidgin does of allowing multiple protocols.

"Twitter is a neat illustration of the problem with #benevolentdictatorships: they work well, but fail badly. Because they are property—not protocols—they can change hands, and overnight, you get a new, malevolent dictator.
By contrast, #ActivityPub-derived services like Mastodon are #openprotocols. Users who want new features, or changes, can either unilaterally implement them; or they can appeal to others to do it."

I spend my day in 700 different apps that show me text and pictures and responses in the form of other text and other pictures.

Why can't I read my email, Mastodon, Slack, Discord, RSS, SMS, and iMessages in a single app that gives _me_ control?

We need #OpenProtocols.
