Moe & voldaan thuis gekomen na 1 workshop & 1 presentatie over #DigitaleAutonomie te hebben gegeven op 't Nationaal Bibliotheek Congres in Utrecht. Meer mensen dan verwacht & leuke reacties gekregen. Ik krijg de indruk dat mensen écht op zoek zijn naar welke stappen ze kunnen nemen om weg te […]

Really honoured we could participate in a STOA workshop (=Panel for the Future of Science and Technology of the European Parliament), woohoo! Thank you! Billions of euros flow out of the #EU every year to shape how we communicate. What if we redirected that into a #europeansocialstack instead? […]

RE: https://mastodon.nl/@doeidag/116708870013848907 Voor de mensen die mij volgen & nog gebruik maken van platformen zoals LinkedIn, Instagram en anderen. Wellicht wil je helpen om #doeidag bekender te maken door hier aandacht op die platformen aan te besteden?

Finishing touches for the first unconference at PublicSpaces on #OpenSocialWeb tomorrow are done. It will be packed, so no admission possible anymore, but you can still join the main @publicspaces#opensocialwebevent on Friday. #pubconf2026 #bigtech #opensource #atproto #fediverse #activitypub #matrix

‘No Regulation Alone will Safeguard Democratic Debate —It all depends on A Collective, Collaborative & Coordinated Effort!’ Thank you, #eurodig for the chance to present a 2 minute pitch on the topic 'Platforms’ Accountability to Strengthen the Digital Public Sphere’! #fediverse #Eumans […]

Avondje doorknallen met #Doeidag. Deze keer met stickers. Zie bijgevoegde screenshots als een sneakpreview van de versies die het waarschijnlijk gaan worden. Formaat: A7 104mmx77mn (liggend) Ben benieuwd, wat vinden jullie hiervan? Ga je deze op je laptop […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

RE: https://social.publicspaces.net/@publicspaces/116619084584111675 Who will join me at @publicspaces #pubconf2026 this year?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/116645486985827346 @_elena took it upon herself to explore W Social. I got weird vibes when W Social was announced at Davos. Elena's piece confirmed these feelings. In my words: W Social seem to be opportunists looking for a way to benefit from the need for […]

Finalized my first A5 zine with tips on moving away from #bigtech for @publicspaces#bigtechIt will probably see its first use at an event I will be the host of in the public library of #zutphen tomorrow. Designed it purposely in #libreoffice so others can easily remix it. 'Cause libreoffice is […]

Wow! Two days, lots of post-its, one bakfiets, and a sailing ship in the background. The #fedivariety #NOAW #unconference brought together #PublicInstitutions and #fediverse enthusiasts in #amsterdam for #open conversations, shared #roadmaps, and the start of a real #community ! What a crowd! […]

@FediVariety @evan @michael @bjoernsta The #kiss secret of all this noise about digital sovereignty - is simple, you ignore it and instead build commons tech. This is a common path for composting #mainstreaming mess. Signal-to-noise.

@publicspaces will have a pre-conference unconference on June 4th. This unconference is an open invitation to discuss & forge relationships between people involved with the #opensocialweb. From app builder & protocol architects to advocates, sysadmins, moderators, community organisers & more […]

Ohyes.. Before we forget it.. At #FOSDEM, we attended a workshop on the European Social Web organised by @evan#fosdemof @SocialWebFoundation. The group agreed that social sovereignty in Europe depends on interoperability, decentralisation, open standards, and open source. A vision paper is in progress […]

The #Fediverse now has its own link-in-bio, with new project FediProfile. Share links, collect badges, and own your online presence – no corporation in the middle. Maho Pacheco demo'd it last week at #FediForum. https://spectra.video/w/hBLR8YT3NrX1yEdjezToRh /cc @mapache#fediverse#fediforum@maho.dev

Arnold Schrijver (@smallcircles) just published a fairly long thinkpiece on the future of ActivityPub and the fediverse and how we could achieve a grassroots improvement of the standards. It's well worth a read! https://coding.social/blog/grassroots-evolution/#fediverse-tomorrow #activitypub […]

Anil Dash’s piece is a wake-up call for the #openweb. The threats he outlines feel scarily accurate, a "perfect storm" that needs us all to pause and then consider how to counter them. Definitely worth your time. 🔗 https://www.anildash.com/2026/03/27/endgame-open-web/
