DESCRIPTION:*Rallying event and community organizers in Berlin to use* Mobi
 lizon*\, a federated\, free software\, and privacy-friendly alternative to
  Facebook Events.*\n\nFacebook Events dominates online event promotion ...
  even within the iconoclastic scene of Berlin. We seek to rally artists\, 
 clubs\, and event organizers in Berlin (and elsewhere) to adopt a new\, de
 centralized and federated\, free software alternative to Facebook: *Mobili
 zon* [1]. In our talk we present the technical and political/social aspect
 s of *Mobilizon* and call on participants to organize with us in order to:
 \n\n- register on *Mobilizon*\, try out and post (or cross-post) events on
  the service\,\n- provide assistance in hosting and maintaining a *Mobiliz
 on* instance to introduce the service to the Berlin scene specifically\,\n
 - contribute to the project by coding a custom UX with a Berlin identity\,
 \n- draft a code of conduct for our community\, and\n- host further instan
 ces to federate with the Fediverse.\n\nDisclaimer: The talk will be record
 ed as part of a documentary for ARTE dealing with online self-defense and 
 free software.\n\nMany people feel held hostage by Facebook. One reason of
 ten mentioned is Facebook Events and the network effect within Facebook's 
 walled garden. Event and community organizers in Berlin – many of whom a
 re critical of Facebook – have been discussing reclaiming club culture f
 rom commercialization for several years now [2]. These cultural influencer
 s have great power to change mentalities and behavior. Although alternativ
 es to Facebook Events exist\, none enables local communities to interconne
 ct on a global scale on their own terms. Until now.\n\n*Mobilizon*\, relea
 sed in October 2020\, is a decentralized and federated service using the A
 ctivityPub protocol (a standard of the W3C). It allows people to find\, cr
 eate\, and organize events. *Mobilizon* is developed by the NGO Framasoft 
 [3] (‘Degooglify’ project\, PeerTube) and is released under a free sof
 tware license (GNU AGPLv3). The unique federated architecture prevents mon
 opolies\, offers users a diversity of hosting terms of service\, and allow
 s communities to regain control over their privacy [4].\n\nMailing list fo
