Nice, there were at least 30 people who raised their hand in the #Fosdem Legal & Policy track when @neil asked who is following him, after he asked who is using #Mastodon . Great to see this change with so many more switching to the #Fediverse 😃

Thanks Neil for being pro bono lawyer for so many #FreeSoftware initiatives and for giving the talk "Online Safety" laws: reflections for #FOSS projects" at #Fosdem 👏 https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/EAVFF3-online-safety-laws-and-foss-projects/

Interesting this is happening in Legal & Policy rather than social track.
When compliance people start raising hands, you know the conversation has shifted.

Mastodon does not protect your private communication, no end to end encryption. Also it does not encrypt user data, so please be aware that this software is dangerous for use as a "social network".
