  1. It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

  2. 1

    Several European agencies and institutions have invested in Mastodon and Peertube, open source alternatives to traditional social networks. A way to promote a European digital model that is more respectful of personal data.

    At a time when the American billionaire Elon Musk has bought the social network Twitter, provoking some controversy among Internet users, the EU has moved in with its competitor, Mastodon. Here, no “tweet” but “poets”, instant messages to communicate with its community.

    “EUVoice and EUVideo

    Open source, decentralised and free, the Mastodon platform indeed combines many advantages. Created in 2016 by the young German developer Eugen Rochko, the competing software of the little blue bird is not invaded by advertisements and does not target its users. It is also funded by donations.

    Called “EuVoice”, the server opened at the end of April by the European Union compiles messages from various institutions and official bodies. The EU Court of Justice has its own account, as does the European Space Agency. This initiative was launched by the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), the equivalent of the CNIL at EU level.

  6. This doesn’t work like they think it is.

    But money will be spent, some people will make fortunes, etatism was always the way in their minds.

  8. Thanks for also putin French title! As someone that is learning French, these little bits in daily life where i understand a sentence are highly motivating!

  12. I doubt this will be able to compete with social media platforms but it could be a good way for eu countries and institutions to communicate with each other without none eu services. Like a eu cloud platform etc
