DESCRIPTION:Now more than ever\, European institutions need a public\, ope
 n communications platform that is accessible to all citizens\, without the
  need for an account\; an independent network not subject to censorship du
 e to opaque algorithms or political bias. In the talk I will explain why I
  believe Mastodon / the Fediverse are a far superior communication fit for
  public institutions\, essential services and politicians\; I see three ke
 y advantages for this open network based on the ActivityPub protocol: open
 ness\, agency and reach.
