Sixteen Next Generation Internet (NGI) projects are pleased to announce the transition to Mastodon and PeerTube, two European open-source platforms, for their communication and content-sharing needs. This strategic move aligns with NGI’s commitment to fostering an Internet that embodies European values of trust, security, and inclusion.
“Utilising European-developed platforms like Mastodon and PeerTube enhances digital sovereignty, ensuring that Europe’s digital infrastructure is built on values of openness, collaboration, and respect for fundamental rights. This transition marks a significant step toward a more human-centric Internet, reflecting NGI’s vision for a trustworthy, open, and inclusive digital future,” NGI writes on its website.
I like seeing the EU more and more adopting open source and decentralized technologies. Looks like the EU will be the leading role in that regard. The US might not do this, because they like to collect information and don’t want to give information to the enemy. I guess something like that. And Japan? No idea what the state of this topic is in Japan.

Just faxed them about it. Will get back to you as soon as they respond.
It’s somewhat funny how most Lemmy mods seem to discuss things on Discord or Matrix, rather than Lemmy (based on the chatter, though I am not a mod here so what do I know, really?).
Anyway the article itself is awesome news, though odd that accepting the cookie policy took almost a minute, and a bunch of stuff does not render well in my Firefox on Android web browser (switching to Landscape rather than Portrait helped). I also found the table layout to be highly confusing - does every one of those projects use ngi@video.ngi.eu, bc that’s normally what those lack of border lines would mean, or does only NGI Zero Commons Fund use it? Either way the meaning isn’t clear at all, but there are so many problems with that site that it could just be another html rendering mistake.

Most of the time we need real-time chat (Mods on Discord) or real-time secure chat (Admins on Matrix).
