🇪🇺 Digitally sovereign communications need an open standard to enable vendor-neutral federation and prevent lock-in.

We’ve mapped out sovereign communications across Europe that support @matrix open standard federation.

That’s sovereign and secure communications between separate organisations, and cross-border, without any reliance on a specific vendor.

Know of a deployment missing from the map? Contributions welcome.

Vidíte tu díru, jak Česko, Slovensko a Maďarsko nepotřebují nic bezpečného pro svojí komunikaci?

@mcepl @element @matrix Česko je moc zaneprázdněné líbáním zadku Microsoftu 🥰
@element @matrix That's all irrelevant if you bend over to age verification and similar bullshit
@element @matrix Do you know how many of these deployments federate with the wider matrix network? It's great to see "Island" solutions using open source tech, but my personal dream is true interoperability like email.

@fell @matrix We share the same dream!

As these are all government or large public sector deployments, they are mainly private federations. However, we are seeing governments (Germany and Luxembourg for instance) using Matrix for government to citizens communications - so it's broadening for sure.

Separately, of course, there's the open public Matrix federation!

@element Swiss ePost uses matrix ?! Really impressive

@matrix Don't want to be too obnoxious, but would you mind implementing a 30 year old open standard for sharing media on fedi, to enable federation and prevent legacy? I mean #ipv6, s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com does not have it in DNS…

@element

@element @matrix I didn't know that @RocketChat were using Matrix, nice to see!
