Between Mammoths and Butterflies: Debate on the Future of Social Networks

Social networks are changing. Between the mammoth of Mastodon and the butterfly of Bluesky, digital cracks are forming that are more decentralized, free, and open. But what are the differences between these platforms? Is a digital future without misinformation and hate speech possible?

In this debate, we will explore how social networks are transforming and what alternatives are gaining strength. We will talk about the Fediverse, the Bluesky proposal, and the creation of a space where citizens can connect, build bonds, and empower themselves digitally.

Programming Dreams, Breaking Barriers!

Let’s celebrate the International Girls in ICT Day with a day full of inspiration and learning! In this meeting, we will explore the opportunities that technology offers for girls, the tools to break barriers, and how to achieve a more equitable and inclusive digital transformation. We will be joined by representatives from organizations like Femdevs and Femcoders Club, who will share their experiences and projects.

FediFesta at Canòdrom

In a moment marked by the migration to ethical social networks, driven by the far-right stance of the owners of the most widely used private platforms, we want to support all those who wish to take the step towards the Fediverse, a digital space built on the common good.
 
During the FediFesta, we will explain the campaigns that have emerged in recent days following the exit from Twitter, such as #VamonosJunt

Visualizing AI biases through language errors

In this workshop, we will explore how spelling mistakes, translations, and other linguistic errors can reveal hidden social biases within generative AI systems. We will begin with a bit of theory to understand how these biases are formed, followed by a practical session where we will use open-source tools to identify them. Finally, we’ll reflect on how language can mirror societal inequalities and the role technology plays in this dynamic.

Come and discover the experimental network at Canòdrom!

Are you interested in learning how community telecommunications work? The maintenance team of the experimental network at Canòdrom invites you to an open session to discover firsthand how we use, expand, and manage this network. We will share what we have achieved so far, what we are currently working on, and what lies ahead.
