Was happy to see that the @European Commission is now providing #Matrix accounts
Looking forward to meet many from the @Nextcloud 📱☁️💻 community on Sunday at the #NextcloudConf25! Will give a lightning talk about "Let’s spark children’s interest in coding" and be around to talk about #softwarefreedom and the @Free Software Foundation Europe's work as well. On Saturday my awesome co-workers @Lucas Lasota and @Dario will be there as well to talk with #nextcloud contributors about #DeviceNeutrality and get feedback for our work in front of the European Court of Justice to keep #Apple accountable under the #DMA.

A great read for everyone reading "social media" "We paid people a few dollars to unfollow the most divisive political accounts on X. After a month, they reported feeling 23% less animosity towards other political groups. In fact, their experience was so positive that nearly half the people declined to refollow those hostile accounts after the study was over. And those who maintain their healthier newsfeed reported less animosity a full 11 months after the study."
