Kind reminder for all Europeans to look-for ways to put pressure on/encourage the EU to keep supporting open source through NGI.
The EU has put a lot of money into the Fediverse, and it has been incredibly effective. This is no time to stop.
I don’t think the EU should be hosting anything else than their own communication channels, which they are of course already doing on their mastodon instance. Follow and interact with them there if you can - success is counted in interactions, even though mastodon likes are kind of meaningless in all other respects.
For the most part, decentralized alternatives have a much harder time complying. Every instance needs to comply individually, which multiplies the work. Also, sharing data between independent instances is very problematic.
I think they should crack down even more, while endorsing decentralized alternatives, possibly some hosted by themselves.
