Open Risk<p>It would be cool if somebody setup a sort of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hackernews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hackernews</span></a> forum - but Europe centered. To act as a focal point for the European <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> scene (which as <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fosdem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fosdem</span></a> shows is nicely vibrant), the so-called <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/eurostack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eurostack</span></a> initiative and possibly others.</p><p>The world has changed and digital technology will increasingly be more weaponised politically.

Hans van ZijstAs many of my followers will know, I'm an avid #<a class="" href="https://social.woefdram.nl/search?tag=Matrix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Matrix</a> user. I fell in love with it the moment I first read about it, and I've run my own homeserver for more than 6 years now.<br><br>I've bought merchandise, I volunteered for #<a class="" href="https://social.woefdram.nl/search?tag=FOSDEM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FOSDEM</a> (but couldn't, because I fell sick) and have tried to onboard people since the beginning. Some people find that annoying, but I'm doing it for the greater good that is private communication without #<a class="" href="https://social.woefdram.nl/search?tag=surveillance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">surveillance</a>.<br><br>Today I finally put my money where my mouth is, and I became a member of the @<a href="https://mastodon.matrix.org/users/matrix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Matrix.org Foundation</a>.
