Fantastic news! We've reached 1 million votes! But please keep sharing and voting in case some votes are invalid!

EU citizens, please sign this petition to ban so-called "conversion therapy" in the EU. It's a practice that's extremely harmful towards LGBTQ+ people.

The site is a little slow, but keep trying!

It's already banned in some countries but we need a EU wide ban!

We now have eight countries past their thresholds, and we have at least 1,000,000 total votes.

So keep signing & voting!

Librewolf is exactly what Firefox should be.

To the point where I find in #Librewolf new features I was explicitly missing in #firefox (like clicking on the lock to enable/disable cookies for a specific website)

And, yet, it works perfectly in #debian thanks to extrepo. But, seriously, it should be considered as the default Debian browser.

Congratulations to the team!

Don’t wait on Mozilla, switch to Librewolf !

The Open Web Index (OWI) 🇪🇺 is a European-based initiative designed to foster a competitive digital infrastructure that aligns with European values and promotes independence from US-centered search engines.

This project is a significant step towards ensuring digital sovereignty and stimulate innovation within the European digital landscape.

It aims to provide an open alternative to proprietary search indexes, thereby reducing the over-reliance on a few dominant vendors that currently control the search engine market. 🔍

By doing so, it seeks to democratize access to information and ensure that the digital ecosystem remains diverse, competitive, and aligned with European standards and regulations.

The initiative is structured around several key steps, as illustrated in the image below. By visiting the page and clicking on the image, you can read more about each step associated with each phase:

Delighted to say we now have our own #phanpy hosted server. Same great code as the original phanpy.social, but another place to find it.

Ideal for #GoToSocial accounts, as well as #mastodon, etc.

No personal data captured or stored by us. Safety first!

I wrote a blogpost about my current approach to building "Indie Small Web" sites. Back to basics.

all your half-finished projects are still experience that contributes directly to your skills and confidence. the dozen half-finished projects are the seeds of the finished one that you could never have handled a decade ago.

Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource

As for the technical subtleties 👇

I am an unpaid volunteer who runs five websites and five accounts helping people use Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. These cause bills every month which I pay.

If you want to help these sites & accounts keep going, you can buy me a coffee:

Alternatively, become a patron:

All support very greatly appreciated! 🙂

Are there any good resources out there for how to help start/grow a community of people looking to break away from #BigTech, and perhaps digital technology in general, with an emphasis on helping non-technical people?

#Solarpunk/#LowTech/#Degrowth is definitely the right destination, but it's hard, I feel, to translate that into some sort of roadmap for people not already technically literate.
