Someone (bio: Open software and (progressive) politics.BSc. in Electrical Engineering, MSc. in Embedded Systems from the University of Twente) in the fediverse is asking me “what is freedom tech” What would your take be on that question? #askNostr

Handed out some Nostr pins yesterday. Also Rudy from Blacksky got one, it seems he likes nostr quite a bit as he also noticed my nostr t-shirt out of the blue when we crossed faces for the first time. 🤙🏻 Not to forget he was the only one mentioning nostr 2 times at different panels out of all the other panels (where it seems the open social web is only backed by activitypub and atproto)🙏

Program Conference - Friday June 05, PublicSpaces Conference

Program Friday June 05

Meeting the people who might (and a lot of them never) heard of nostr and are full into subjects around digital sovereignty, EU-first projects, the EU cloud, governance, regulations, digital commons, ActivityPub, ATProto etc It's good to know that I'll be not the only nostrich there tomorrow. My primairly goal is just to observe and listen to their concerns and problems which they are trying to address in a more broader perspective. Where possible, I'll try to envision bridges. I don't expect there will be much talking about solutions (and trade-offs).
