MakeSocials SocialAgain

Are you looking for social media that is truly social, but don't quite get your bearings yet from these new platforms? Come and visit the MakeSocialsSocialAgain helpdesk at the Bazaar. Here you will learn about alternatives to big tech platforms like X, Instagram and Youtube and we will help you get started. For instance, we can find you the perfect Mastodon server, help you convince your social circle to download Signal and increase your online reach on Pixelfed.

Forum Standaardisatie

We all want to exchange digital data with each other safely and easily. Forum Standaardisatie helps make this possible by testing and prescribing open standards to public organisations. These standards improve cooperation between businesses, citizens and the government. Forum Standaardisatie is an advisory committee with experts from various government organisations, industry and science. Its members are appointed in a personal capacity by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations.

At the Bazaar, we explain Forum Standaardisatie and the importance of open standards.

KennisCloud

KennisCloud is the network where individuals, communities and organisations meet online and offline to discuss current, socially relevant topics. This happens offline in local knowledge meetings, and online on this platform. Discuss topics that interest you, find answers to questions you cannot find via Google and get to know the network that can take you further! KennisCloud originated from the Central Brabant Library.

PubHubs

Most people communicate online through global social media platforms that run on a revenue model where user data is exchanged for free access. However, the centralised, global content moderation on these platforms falls short of providing a safe and inclusive public environment.

PubHubs offers a non-profit, open source and values-driven alternative: an online environment designed specifically for public organisations. This environment - called a hub - is easy to set up and completely self-manage. Within your hub, you know exactly who you are communicating with when needed, or you can remain anonymous if the situation calls for it.

During the bazaar, we will show our latest features, including improved content moderation, threads and new communication tools.

Bits of Freedom

Bits of Freedom is a foundation that advocates for digital civil rights. We believe that a strong democratic rule of law is needed to live together in freedom and equality. The power of technology should be in the hands of the people who strive for this. That is what we as Bits of Freedom are committed to through advocacy, campaigning and legal action.
