“As part of our efforts to use more sovereign digital solutions, the European Commission is preparing an internal communication solution based on the Matrix protocol,”
Matrix is an open source, community-developed messaging protocol shepherded by a non-profit that’s headquartered in London.

The Fediverse isn’t “the alternative to Big Tech.” It’s older than most of it.
Email works because it’s a protocol, not a platform. The Fediverse works the same way.
☑ Different servers.
☑ Shared standards.
☑ Real interoperability.
You don’t sign up to Mastodon.
You join a server on Mastodon, and suddenly the whole network is available.
Oweo doesn’t abstract that away.
It makes it visible, legible, and pleasant.

I am exploring an idea for a Sovereign Social Protocol. A way to rethink social media around user ownership, decentralised Identity, and freedom from algorithmic control and surveillance. This is about rebuilding social spaces with autonomy and trust at the core.

🌍 Survey announcement: Help shape the future of decentralised social!
Are you building on Nostr or exploring what decentralized social networks can be? We want to hear from you!
On behalf of Nostr, we are conducting a community survey to map how people worldwide are using the protocol. We also aim to identify what would make participation easier and more sustainable.
✍️ Take part in the survey here: https://lnkd.in/eqzNeWnU

In the long run Open Source is all which remains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All closed source, usually commercial, software comes with a hidden sell-by-date. For whatever reason — a merger, a hostile takeover, a new management paradigm, incompatible OS update, a bad financial year — someone you will never know can pull a rug and —puff— it's gone.

Social Web Foundation is Betting Big on Client-to-Server API
From the outside looking in, it can sometimes feel unclear as to what steps the Social Web Foundation is taking to achieve its goals. The non-profit organization's About Page states lofty ambitions, such as bringing together implementers to build tools, policies, and protocols to advance the Fediverse. The Projects Page includes End-to-End Encryption, a Fediverse Starter Page, GDPR Compliance, and Long-Form Text. However, the SWF has been working on several interesting projects outside of […]https://wedistribute.org/2025/08/social-web-foundation-is-betting-big-on-client-to-server-api/
A open protocol is an agreement between services, about how to interoperate. It's the technical equivalent of diplomatic protocols, agreements worked out between countries about how to peacefully interact with each other.

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:
