Reasons why public institutions should embrace the Fediverse
Now more than ever, European institutions need a public, open communications platform that is accessible to all citizens, without the need for an account; an independent network not subject to censorship due 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 key advantages for this open network based on the ActivityPub protocol: openness, agency and reach.
The talk will be an updated version - and adaptation - of an article I published on this topic in March. It can be read here: https://blog.elenarossini.com/openness-transparency-and-reach-three-reasons-why-public-institutions-should-embrace-the-fediverse/
