CryptPad is the platform they're moving to, to save you a click.

Are they allocating a budget to fund the project? This would be great to see UN backing and the features improve over time as a result

Edit: Nonprofit hosting for CryptPad starts at 1,500 EUR/year

Take note @ECB .

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu tell the ECB to get onto the fediverse and off of Microsoft Forms! And get the UN to join mastodon too!

As someone who has used cryptpad, it works. It sucks major cheeks, but it gets the job done.

maybe EU will donate a bit, moving the needle.

It is a bit confusing at first, but with the adoption of more onlyoffice tools I think it will make it easier on folks to use it.

Any buyer’s remorse yet, Sundar?
