cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/364580 > The EU via their Horizons Europe program, the [Next Generation Internet](https://ngi.eu) (where e.g. NLnet are associated) (NGI Initiative) are the biggest funders of the [free software projects](https://delightful.club/delightful-fediverse-apps/) that comprise the fedi. Without their support fedi wouldn't be what it is now. > > The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) recently [launched a pilot](https://edps.europa.eu/press-publications/press-news/press-releases/2022/edps-launches-pilot-phase-two-social-media_en) to have both a Peertube and Mastodon instance on the Fediverse, hashtagged #EUVideo and #EUVoice respectively. On these servers official European Commission related institutions as well as individuals working at the EC can have their accounts. > > This recognition of the Fediverse and the interest that exists in entering our decentralized social networking environment is an important development. With success of the pilot there will undoubtedly be a follow-up and more initiatives to come. First results until now is that the parties that 'test the waters' are very happy on the kinds of interactions and quality of discussions they encounter on the Fediverse. > > That is no wonder, of course. Fediverse offers **social networking** that is more personal and friendly, than corporate social media which is about 'broadcasting' and influencing. > > Current pilot can be a ramp up to something much bigger: > > #### Fediverse: United in Diversity > > A social networking technology where _everyone_ can find their place and participate, that is not controlled by Big Tech and commercial corporate interests. For the European Commission there is the opportunity to passionately put their support behind fostering **"The European Take On Social Networking"**. Fediverse aligns to the NGI Initiative who envision an [Internet for Humans](https://www.ngi.eu/about/). > > ##### How you can help > > To progress towards this vision it is important for the EU/EC pilot to be a success. As fedizen you can help with this. Here are a couple of ways to offer your support: > > → **Follow, boost, favourite the [EUVoice accounts](https://social.network.europa.eu/explore) on Mastodon and [EUVideo](https://tube.network.europa.eu/videos/overview) Peertube videos.** > > - These early adopter accounts are _still learning_ how the Fediverse works, what the culture is and e.g. how we value accessibility and image captions. You can help them discover. > - Many accounts are still Twitter bridges and broadcast only. Some others respond and interact with fedizens, notably [@EC_OSPO](https://social.network.europa.eu/@EC_OSPO), [@EDPS](https://social.network.europa.eu/@EDPS) and [@EC_NGI](https://social.network.europa.eu/@EC_NGI). The operators of the Twitter bridges don't know what the value of Fediverse is to them, and if they should spend time with us. All reactions by us are monitored, so we can help them here. > - There are people giving highly toxic reactions to almost any EC-related toot. There are many things to be critical about. Politics is about the discussion of these issues, and good arguments help more than toxicity. Here we have opportunity to show we are different than the cesspit that Twitter is. > - Do not expect too much, too soon. There is a complex organization structure at the EC, and given the politically sensitive nature all communications are weighed carefully and undergo multiple levels of approval. Plans move slowly, but they are in motion. > > → **Let's give the fedi accounts more followers than they have on Twitter, if possible.** > > - For instance the [Director General of Informatics at DG DIGIT](https://social.network.europa.eu/users/EC_DIGIT_director_general), Veronica Gaffey, has 191 fedi followers in short time, while [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/gaffey_veronica) she has 279 followers. > > → **If you are on Twitter, then help encourage EC institutions to also have an account on EUVoice.** > > - A notable example is the [European Parliament](https://twitter.com/euparl_en). Respond to their tweets and name-drop the fedi as THE place to be. > > → **We are gathering a group of volunteers on [SocialHub](https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks) that can [help train EC representatives](https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/looking-for-volunteers-organize-a-fediverse-training-for-eu-representatives/2437) in how to use the Fediverse effectively and understand its culture.** > > - The activities we do here, starting later this year, stand to benefit any administration or institution interested to join the Fediverse, not just EU representatives. > > --- > > This post is also [cross-posted](https://discuss.coding.social/t/help-make-the-european-commission-euvoice-and-euvideo-pilot-a-success/101) to the [Social Coding Movement](https://coding.social) that is dedicated among others to establish a Peopleverse on top of the fedi. Social Coding is not yet officially launched.

## [Join The Fediverse Wiki](https://joinfediverse.wiki/) On [**Fediverse Town**](https://fediverse.town/t/pre-introducing-the-join-the-fediverse-wiki/294) and [**SocialHub**](https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/pre-introducing-the-join-the-fediverse-wiki/2158) communities we are discussing the new **Join The Fediverse** wiki initiative. And we NEED all the help we can get to make this wiki kicks some lama's asses. So join the fun on either of these two forums and let your voice be heard. Help too by boosting the toot in the URL so that as many fedizens as possible see our call to action.

Making games in a week, using only federated spaces to organize, so +-100% fedizens. Failing, recovering, learning to game design and, optionally, to use network in games (of course, focusing on federation and fediverse). Join for fun, exp, teammates and feedback \^-\^ You can join up until submisson closes Dec 5. Since your plans are expected to crash several times during the week anyway, it is perfectly possible and acceptable to submit 1-day or 3-day works. Our Matrix room (~30 people): https://matrix.to/#/#fedijam:m.wfr.moe
FediJams are gamemaking competitions that span Mastodon-federating networks, Lemmy, Matrix, and at times Mobilizon. The theme for Fedijam IV was Power Saving, proposed by https://nerdica.net/profile/bkil This time around we have 2 entries that are to be rated until 2021-11-18 18:00:00 UTC: ### Surge! by a team of 3 people: * https://fosstodon.org/@armen * https://bsd.network/@iarebatman * @unbroken-unworn:tedomum.net (matrix) https://itch.io/jam/fedijam-4/rate/1277300 https://gitlab.com/armen138/surge  ### Battery Street by me, https://mastodon.technology/@houkimenator https://itch.io/jam/fedijam-4/rate/1278396 https://notabug.org/Houkime/BatteryStreet  There was also one that was not submitted. ### Wolf Game (not submitted) by [@stemid@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/u/stemid) https://gitlab.com/stemid/wolfgame This one uses Mastodon API ## Boosts Are Appreciated https://mastodon.technology/@houkimenator/107278347685726489
