My french is tres horrible but I do love it!

I’m from the Netherlands but traveled to Swiss on interrail a few years back and we went to this little village called Brunnen. They have a Victorinox Visitor Center where you can assemble your own Victorinox knife. You can even engrave it. It was an awesome experience, and you’ll have a unique multi tool afterwards.

I love this list because it’s about open source software, but I also agree to what @Polderviking says because open source transcends the boundaries of countries.

Douze points for idea, but it definitely would need to be a team effort

If your European bank supports Ideal you can use Tikkie and Groepie (Tikkie ask individuals for money back, Groepie is dividing group expenses) https://www.tikkie.me/groepie

Well done!!

Aww thank you so much for your kind words!

I don’t really despise people who do that, but it is a bit odd to post against big tech and then only post on big tech 🙈
It will never be my only posting platform again. Right now I’m loving the fediverse, so I’m sticking to that (and the website I’m making of course)

Thanks so much to everyone who has taken the time to reply!

I never looked at it that way, but yes that is definitely a strategy!

Thanks! That’s a good idea, that way I wouldn’t have to use it a lot and still can inform people.

Thanks! I’m definitely talking to people around me. I’m even having stickers made to put on my car and bins etc. so hopefully that will trigger some conversations as well.

Yes it’s probably too playful for the corporate type people. Sorry about that! I misinterpted the public a bit

Very well done and remember every step is worth it! It doesn’t need to be perfect, but together we can do it!

I have an e-mail adres with my domain name, but my personal mail is still Gmail. However I’m looking into changing that. I’m thinking about proton mail but I’m not sure yet. I’m trying to do research into what’s best long term.

Thanks! I love it! Even though I wrote the blog post I’m unfortunately allergic to wool 🙈 but I wish I could wear it! But the o’neills shirts would definitely be good for me, less wool more cotton LOL

You’re right, but I feel “regular social media companies” can do this on their own networks too, but pretend they don’t.

I don’t really feel I need protecting from the Fediverse, more from the “regular” social networks

I would love for the “official/non personal” accouts to be on Mastodon. I feel strongly they should do whatever they like in their time off, but for the love of the fediverse please use Mastodon for official communication. A lot of my country’s politicians (the Netherlands) are using Twitter/X to communicate and I hate it. (They even argue on there… I’m not missing that)

I think it’s intended to look like illegible doctor’s prescription handwriting
