We’re a collective from Lusatia, Potsdam, Berlin & Bremen using Mobilizon in the Fediverse to make emancipatory events visible – beyond Big Tech. It’s not about one central tool, but about building federated bridges between local platforms. Let’s share experiences & ideas for better grassroots coordination!

We’re a loose collective from Lusatia, Potsdam, Berlin, and Bremen exploring how emancipatory movements can better coordinate and share events—without relying on Big Tech. Using Mobilizon instances in the Fediverse, we’ve set up local, federated calendar platforms that exchange events across regions. Our goal isn’t to build one unified tool, but to develop open interfaces that support a diverse, decentralized ecosystem. In this session, we’ll share what we’ve learned, connect with others running similar projects (or planning to), and discuss how to strengthen bottom-up infrastructure for radical organizing.

Vonunten is a decentralized collective of people from Lusatia, Potsdam, Berlin, and Bremen working on tools and infrastructure for emancipatory movements. We focus on creating federated, non-corporate alternatives for event coordination and communication—especially through Mobilizon and other Fediverse platforms. Our goal is to strengthen grassroots self-organization by building and connecting local digital resources from below.
