Something that bothers me about the push for digital sovereignty is that a lot of it seems to be motivated by nationalism and anti-American sentiment. That's why we need standards and federation, so instead of just switching to an instant messaging server run by some European tech company, I can keep using my self-hosted one.

I wrote a blog post on Jabber/XMPP and 25 years of digital independence.

It shares a title with my upcoming talk and touches on similar themes around open standards, collective ownership, and avoiding vendor lock-in. However, it is an independent essay rather than a written version of the talk.
