Open protocols unite: Common goals in advocating?
Can open protocols communities learn from each other? For sure! I would like to talk about political demands from a perspective of advocating for open protocols based social networks in EUrope. And why I build the alliance “Open networks and public spheres”. I would like to learn about your political demands as the Matrix community and what common struggles are that ActivityPub or atproto communities share with you?
This talks wants to build bridges within our habitat of open protocols communities. When advocating for open protocols as relevant tools for so called "digital sovereignty" (that is not for states and their administrations or for purely economical interests but from a digital commons perspective that benefits all) it seems important to build networks - so we can get to know our policies goals and see if we have joined political demands therefore.
