Sixteen Next Generation Internet (NGI) projects are pleased to announce the transition to Mastodon and PeerTube, two European open-source platforms, for their communication and content-sharing needs. This strategic move aligns with NGI’s commitment to fostering an Internet that embodies European values of trust, security, and inclusion.

"Utilising European-developed platforms like Mastodon and PeerTube enhances digital sovereignty, ensuring that Europe’s digital infrastructure is built on values of openness, collaboration, and respect for fundamental rights. This transition marks a significant step toward a more human-centric Internet, reflecting NGI’s vision for a trustworthy, open, and inclusive digital future," NGI writes on its website.

It's somewhat funny how most Lemmy mods seem to discuss things on Discord or Matrix, rather than Lemmy (based on the chatter, though I am not a mod here so what do I know, really?).

Anyway the article itself is awesome news, though odd that accepting the cookie policy took almost a minute, and a bunch of stuff does not render well in my Firefox on Android web browser (switching to Landscape rather than Portrait helped). I also found the table layout to be highly confusing - does every one of those projects use ngi@video.ngi.eu, bc that's normally what those lack of border lines would mean, or does only NGI Zero Commons Fund use it? Either way the meaning isn't clear at all, but there are so many problems with that site that it could just be another html rendering mistake.

My instance uses a self hosted XMPP for mods/Admins to communicate quickly, which works quite well.

Matrix is essentially secure XMPP.

For fast and secure communications, I’d expect Fediverse mods and admins to be using it, as it doesn’t take much more to set up and use than less secure XMPP variants, and lines up with the ActivityPub worldview.

But I guess people go with what they know, and some people know standard XMPP or Discord.

XMPP has quite good encryption nowadays, and at least according to our sysadmin, it's quite a bit lighter on system requirements. I think there was also some concerns about the matrix foundation being pretty corporate oriented.

Problem is most of the xmpp clients don't have support for the latest encryption versions
