@MichelPatrice oh that's odd because I follow my Fediverse accounts via RSS feeds (to check if they federate and have a reference... but GoToSocial and Ghost). I wonder if my own Mastodon doesn't work (I couldn't do it either) because it starts with an underscore and it could be a bug?

When I will get back home tonight, I will try with some other accounts.

This rss feature would be quite cool.

[imacrea@mamot.fr]

@_elena Looks amazing, can't wait to read it!!

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@imacrea thank you M! It was a real labor of love, it took me a week to write / copy-edit it. HUGE thanks to @samvie for her excellent feedback

I'd be curious to hear what you think after you read it

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@MichelPatrice yeah you basically never miss a post by someone...

[nclm@mastodon.social]

@_elena Good post And in addition to RSS, I believe Mastodon is soon adding a subscribe-via-email feature? So that most people can stay up to date with an account without creating one themselves!

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@nclm thank you Nicolas and ooooh I had completely missed this. Sounds EPIC!

P.S.: are you attending JDLL this year? Sadly I can't make it and I'm all kinds of sad about it

P.P.S.: please keep me posted about your thing/announcement in case I miss it

@_elena @europeanspodcast @haubles @aral @Gargron @tferrer @rstockm @samvie @EUCommission Just watched your video and have forwarded the link to a friend

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@alan thank you Alan!

[leonieke@squilla.vitaulium.eu]

@_elena Kudos on this post!

[ruud@mastodon.world]

@_elena @MichelPatrice I think you need to add .rss to it. https://mastodon.world/@ruud.rss

[nclm@mastodon.social]

@_elena Saw it there so it’s still pretty early I’m guessing: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/38163

P.S. Oh no, too bad you’re missing on the conference! ️ Are there maybe any other events you’ll be going to? Pretty sure I’ll attend, yes!

P.P.S. It’s actually public just as of today!! Have a look here for a first look at it: https://code.vinyl-cache.org/vinyl-cache/project-identity/src/branch/main/vinyl-cache-identity.pdf (By the way, they’re on Mastodon too now! And thanks again for sharing the original call for entries. I’ll post an announcement soon as well)

[michelpatrice@jasette.facil.services]

@ruud

Thank you. I will try when I get back home.

[aquaclaire@ecoevo.social]

@_elena This is such an important issue! All universities, institutions, citizens & responsible communicators should be using a "communications platform that is accessible to all citizens, without the need for an account; an independent network not subject to [monetisation &] censorship due to opaque algorithms or political bias."
Thanks for this clear explanation!

since i deleted my instagram account i have been missing out on important news from my city, which is a real shame.
you make some really good arguments, so i might share this with someone that works for the city.

I'd sure like to see a new tech industry of converting (upgrading) institutions and corporations onto the fediverse, linux, office alternatives, etc. Create a sales doc with rationale and cost:benefit estimates that potential clients like colleges/universities, municipalities, hospitals and corps can consider in their budget deliberations.

@_elena @europeanspodcast @haubles @aral @Gargron @tferrer @rstockm @samvie @EUCommission

Thanks for making the case!

I believe it is also important to learn from and ‘fame’ the government organisations and public institutions who are already active on Mastodon/Fediverse 🧐

Bart Knubben (@bartknubben@mastodon.nl)

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net 👌 And their accounts are on the 🇳🇱 government Mastodon instance https://social.overheid.nl (also reachable via https://social.gov.nl). Other accounts of Dutch goverment officials, besides @stasdigi@social.overheid.nl: - @MinisterBZK@social.overheid.nl - @staatssecretarisbzk@social.overheid.nl - @MinisterVRO@social.overheid.nl For similar gov instances in 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 check: https://social.overheid.nl/about#:~:text=5.%20Zijn%20er,https://social.edps.europa.eu. Hopefully, other governments will also join Mastodon/Fediverse soon :-)

@ruud @_elena

It works! You have to add .rss instead of /rss.

It is set up on my Thunderbird. I will see, Elena, if your next posts do appear in my rss feed.

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@MichelPatrice @ruud thanks! Correcting this ASAP (and crediting Ruud)
