#FnF23

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

I would like to thank everyone that was in the organization of #FNF23! This was a great step in my journey in #DigitalRights and #DigitalInclusion.

We had a lot of fun and kickstarted an initiative to bring closer the #EU institutions to the Fediverse (more updates soon! @vishnee @zzepposs @erikkemp)

Also, with MEP Patrick Beyer we discussed about how #CSAR may undermine our fundamental right to privacy, as well as new developments in border control by the EU

Continued thread

I just attended a very inspiring #FnF23 session convened by @erikkemp on the topic of Fediverse governance. People from many countries, backgrounds and groups were present.

In my opinion, it's too early for creating governing bodies, and I'm not sure we will ever need them. What I find useful is covenants that instances can sign. E.g. digitalcourage.social signed the well-known Mastodon covenant <joinmastodon.org/covenant> as well as the #fedimins covenant <fedimins.net/en/covenant/> which is still a work in progress.

Wow, really interesting to hear that civil society & researchers will be able to request data from very large platforms.

This is quite interesting, especially for the library field, as we need to have more transparency in sales, coming from a competition perspective.

Curious to hear what would fall in that 'data' scope #fnf23
