Can anyone in the whole world submit?
...to have a "European dimension"... but you are from elsewhere? Don't despair: there are other ways too... A significant contribution towards the vision of the Next Generation Internet initiative also qualifies. What is good for the whole open internet also benefits Europe, after all.

@aral@hanscees Thanks for sharing this information. Very useful. Sorry to read this: "I’m also done wasting time writing grant proposals to organisations that clearly do not care about supporting the work we do."

Anyway, I will read more about https://small-tech.org/
@christopher@thomas Please keep in mind that #Purism only earns one time money from the purchase. They are not harvesting your private information to sell it.

Here’s an idea: let’s call people “people” on the fediverse instead of “users” whenever we can.
Compare:
“There are 42 users on this instance.”
vs
“There are 42 people on this instance.”
Which acknowledges our humanity more?
Language matters. We don’t need to perpetuate mainstream technology’s othering/colonial framing of “us” – designers/developers/other “clever folks” – and “them” – the users (usually one step removed from “dumb user” and usually the ones who get used).
