Federated Social Media for Canada
Join Evan Prodromou as he describes the ActivityPub standard, the fediverse landscape today, and how Canadian news, civil society, and all levels of government might connect with social media that can be owned and be interoperable, rather than use private walled garden platforms.
Some of the items to discuss.
Bill C-18 and news links being blocked by Google and Meta/Facebook
Twitter API limits and emergency information blockage
Meta's Threads and their plans for federation
Online verification of individuals and news sources
If you represent an organization from news or civic society, come join us for an overview, and open Q&A discussion to talk about open source social media in Canada.
