A strong Europe needs independent digital spaces.
We believe true digital sovereignty thrives on a competitive, contestable, open ecosystem where diverse platforms co-exist.
Today, we’re expanding our presence to W, the new social media. By being on W, we want to boost alternatives and support all efforts toward a decentralised web.
And we continue to invest into our presence on the Fediverse!
@EUCommission great! Now EVERYONE is going to know about Mastodon, and now EVERYONE is going to be on the Fediverse, just like everyone was on ʞooqǝɔɐⅎ. The entire herd of zombies is going to turn our social media into trash.
We’re all gonna have to do our part to prevent that !

Oh SO close, but you missed. Reinventing the damaged wheel is the wrong way to go.
Be OPEN. Be FREE. Be SAFE. -

@EUCommission Embarrassing

@ayo @Wesemann @Gargron @EUCommission
But they could have advertised it with guts:
“Be a good citizen! After leaving, tell your X the reason: Y.”
Whereas W just sounds like: Less features, a few yet unclosed vulnerabilities and a bit outdated (although, of course, better than V!)

@EUCommission Why? We are good over here, and federated. No need to reinvent the wheel.

@EUCommission It's kind of crazy that Mastodon never got this kind of promotion and endorsement, unlike this 4 month old platform that came out of nowhere.
@gargron @EUCommission It‘s not about the best technology, it’s about the best network, the best timing, the best funding.

@Gormfull @Wesemann @Gargron @EUCommission I can imagine the brainstorming
“Folks this will be a huge W for Europe”

This is the EU as it votes for ICE style deportation measures
The last bastion of liberal democracy looks very shaky.

Whether here on our Mastodon server, or on ATproto with new W profile
@ec.europa.eu – we look forward to staying connected with you.@EUCommission i can follow the mastodon account even without having an account, how can i see your account on W without relying on making an account?

@EUCommission After chatcontrol, this might be the second worst recent decision, or at least second least liked one

@EUCommission no. What a joke. You should be ashamed.

There's no money in Mastodon, unlike something a VC/techbro wants to sell them...
@rickf @Gargron @EUCommission
this exactly. They are big on public private partnerships and just don't know how to deal with grassroots or open structures IMO. The profit motive, how ill conceived, often prevails. Even if jobs/economic benefits never materialize and it is technically a hand-out to a private corporation it is an easier sell than "just" supporting a ground up solution. Bean-counters be bean-counters. -

Bean-counters be bean-counters.@rickf @Gargron @EUCommission Don't get me wrong, often these structures do get things right (regulation wise) but there is absolutely no structure for anything that is too far from the status quo (i.e. corporate run stuff).
