Redecentralize Digest — September 2020
In this issue: NGI workshop • DSA consultation • DWeb meetup
Last week we held a workshop “Follow us OFF Facebook” at the NGI Policy Summit, featuring @RegierungBW and @marcel_kolaja
The topic was the problematic use of centralised social media platforms by public institutions; with a focus on the alternative of adopting decentralised social media (specifically Mastodon / the Fediverse).
The recording is now online: https://redecentralize.org/events/2020-ngi-policy-summit-workshop/

Last night's @redecentralize meetup was amazing. So good to see so many people interested in decentralisation and to have a lot of very interesting and diverse talks about @matrix.
I wrote about the @redecentralize get together last night in London, with a great keynote from @shevski http://bit.ly/redecen
So, who is working on branding, logo and identity for the OStatus network *as a whole*? Mastodon is a nice name and has a logo, but it's a server, not the network. We shouldn't be saying "I'm on Mastodon", but "I'm on OStatus". But it needs a friendlier brand. How do we do this in a decentralised way? It's like trying to rebrand the concept of email.
