One of the benefits of #Mastodon being #OpenSource: The EU can help make it more secure.

"Awards of up to EUR 5000 are available for finding security vulnerabilities in LibreOffice, LEOS, Mastodon, Odoo and CryptPad, open source solutions used by public services across the European Union. There is a 20% bonus for providing a code fix for the bugs they discover."

@noellopez wouldn’t it be great if the EU should sponsor a Mastodon server for all Europeans to connect. The rules should be that you can have an account under any name as long as your identity can be proved.

@ruudp Yeah, I think it would be great if governments funded federated social networking as a public service!
