#documentfreedomday — Public Fediverse posts

Ever lost access to a file because the software stopped working? That’s the cost of proprietary formats.

Open Standards keep your data accessible, portable, and in your control.

Join us on March 29 for Document Freedom Day 2026 with The Document Foundation and SFLC.in.

📍 Essentiadev, Noida

Your data. Your rules.

Hoje celebramos o Dia da Liberdade Documental e aproveitámos para lembrar os 15 anos da Lei das Normas Abertas, a (falta de) adopção do ODF, a necessidade de atualizar o RNID e a recente notícia da obrigatoriedade do ODF na Alemanha.

Ever tried to open an old file only to be met with "Format not supported"?

That’s what happens when we rely on proprietary tech instead of Open Standards.

Today is #DocumentFreedomDay! 💜 We’re celebrating the right to access our own data without being locked into a specific software.

Curious how file formats evolved?

Here I am, writting this simple text, and there you are, reading it. There is something quasi-magical in the simplicity of this remote and asyncronous communication, how easy it is for someone, somehow, to write a toot that someone, somehow will be able to read. But for me the real magic is in those two keywords and the variety they represent: the someone, the somehow. You can read this, it does not matter where or how I wrote it. And you, the reader, can be anywere in the world, you can be reading this on a desktop computer, or a tablet, a phone, a wristwatch, via e-mail or RSS, on a fediverse client or maybe a twtxt one. It does not matter if you are my neighbor or across the world, rich or poor, no one needs to know your gender, your height, how many cookies you ate today.

All of this, this quasi-magical simplicity, is possile because we use Open Standards. And today I welcome you to join me in celebrating them, and with you a happy #DocumentFreedomDay !

1st Jan - #PublicDomainDay
last Wednesday of March - #DocumentFreedomDay #DFD
16 August - #DebianDay
October - #Hacktoberfest

I'm not sure we can say #IDAD is in December - it has been the last few years, but it wasn't so before. Maybe now it is decided to always be in #December but I haven't heard about that anywhere. Maybe @endDRM or @fsf can shed some light on this - I'd love to start knowing the date for the next #IDAD with more time in advance...

💡 The last Wednesday of March can only mean one thing...

#DocumentFreedomDay ✍️

Today we celebrate open standards: The ability for everyone to work and communicate using free software.

If you're using paid software that confines you see if any of the alternatives on my list of #opensource software can make life easier for you:
