  RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/116697945683857980 FediForum is one of the supporters of the European Social Stack declaration that was published today. in the cooperative spirit of FediForum, we are glad that so many -- often competing -- organizations are coming together to the common cause of advancing better forms of social media in Europe. Kudos to many to make this happen, but particularly to @michael and @bjoernsta who spearheaded it.
