#NGIForum23 The is no way to edit or remove questions. The is no way to talk to anyone... A normal #NGI "trust" #4opens fail, except this time it is a hardcoded due to the use of this CMS for the event. Before this we used #FOSS with #BBB which worked well, then #dotcons silos that worked after a fight each time to get chat turned on, now we are here #blocking, every #EU tech event has pushed this "control" mess over the public. What are you guys in "control" going to do to stop this.

Particify is the SaaS version of ARSnova FOSS https://gitlab.com/particify/dev/foss/ARSnova . Most people would use #slido instead.

Had a look thought the #Particify site, and it seems to be only a ONE-WAY tool, with controlled/shaped feedback. Which is why whoever organized #NGIForum23 used it. This is not "people to people" and it's not "trust". How can we go about putting in an official complaint to #NGI and their sponsors about this mess they keep pushing #EU

I think the argument that NGI used particify because it omits a feature is a long stretch.

I would also recommend to take a step back and check if NGI amongst all EU organisations/projects is the one deserving your attention the most. #chatcontrol #eidas #twittermigration There is so much more things to care about with a more lasting effect than a one off event.
