https://video.publicspaces.net/videos/watch/4a2861ca-aeff-4c92-b5dd-da48ce7fa656 Ceremony - Celebrating the pioneers building a healthier, sovereign social web This year, New_Public and PublicSpaces present the Open Socials Awards for the very first time. With this award, we aim to stimulate the field of decentralised social media, with open social principles at its heart, celebrating the efforts of those building healthy, sustainable, and sovereign online social spaces, and showing the world that such spaces are possible. During the evening, we explore open social media platforms through keynote presentations and a panel discussion, before the jury shares their insights and announces five honourable mentions and three winners. The awards are judged by a fully independent expert jury — independent of all partnering organisations — consisting of well-known digital pioneers Audrey Tang and Mike Masnick, alongside Laurens Hof, an active European analyst of the open protocol sector; Johannes Ernst, founder of the Fediforum; Melanie Bartos, Science Communicator at the University of Innsbruck; and Robin Berjon, Board Director of the Modal Foundation. Speakers: Laurens Hof, Robin Berjon, Johannes Ernst, Melanie Bartos, Audrey Tang, Host: Evita de Roode, https://conference.publicspaces.net/en/session/open-socials-award-show Tue, 09 Jun 2026 07:19:05 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://video.publicspaces.net https://video.publicspaces.net/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://video.publicspaces.net/videos/watch/4a2861ca-aeff-4c92-b5dd-da48ce7fa656 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://video.publicspaces.net/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
