🚨 Von der Leyen & @EUCommission use the #DMA as a poker chip against US Trump car tariffs thus tarnishing our #EU legislation

Allowing #Bigtech to influence our digital laws which shall ensure consumer + digital rights against commercial profits under the frame of #deregulation is undemocratic as it is against the interests of the 🇪🇺 people.

Call on your national governments that this is not acceptable 🔥

@MichelPatrice oooooooh this is a BRILLIANT idea Michel! I will definitely do this (and add #SaveSocial stickers by @bjoernsta).

One of the perks of speaking multiple languages is that I could do versions in English, French and Italian... and I would of course make them available for additional translations.

There are tons of Little Free Libraries in my Paris neighborhood and even my Italian small village. Excited to do this!

Wir teilen die Sorgen des Ministerpräsidenten von Schleswig-Holstein gegenüber den Gefahren der #socialmedia Nutzung
👉 https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/Ministerpraesident-Guenther-Social-Media-Verbot-fuer-unter-16-Jaehrige,guenther1842.html

In unserem Engagement für #Mastodon und das #Fediverse merken wir täglich, wie schwer es ist, Nutzer:innen aus den #Silos der großen Plattformen zu befreien 🔐🔗. #Meta, #TikTok und #YouTube gestalten ihre Seiten mit psychologischen Kniffs so geschickt, dass manche eine Sucht entwickeln.

Die Präsenz von öffentlichen Einrichtungen auf Mastodon 🐘 wie
@kieluni @gerichteSH @landesbibliothek @landesregierung @neuwittenbek @CIO
gibt ein gutes Beispiel, wie wir uns davon unabhängig machen können.

Weiter so, Schleswig-Holstein! 👏
Möge die Instanz https://social.schleswig-holstein.de doch allen Ämtern und Behörden 👩‍💻 bei Euch einen Mastodon-Account einrichten.

For centuries, we had public infrastructure for texts (called "libraries").
Recently, this has been extended to data (called "repositories").

We need to extend that to some software, developed and maintained as a free public good.
Why? Because we need it for a functioning society.

Smart societies would sustainably fund some open source software as critical infrastructure.
For example, research grants could set aside 2 % of their budget to support the open-source software they rely on.

( @sovtechfund is a shining example 👏)
