Would you like to see more #EU institutions on #Mastodon / the #Fediverse?

@hpod16 @openrisk so that's how the EU sites operate on Twitter and the other US social media sites? I never realised that.

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@hpod16 There r important topics in the present & near future, that need excellent communication in a lot of channels.
For example, US influence in European politics and EU institutions. What Trump calls woke suddenly might have no more bank account due to ties of European banking systems to American finance. Or look what happens to the International Court.
We need working strategies to prevent this toxic influence. Good communication is part of it.

@hpod16 I would love to have a live-Analytics channel, that gives indications about in which direction a day/week has steered.

E.g. there was a vote for laws - does that mean better support for regenerative energy or fossil fuels - all fitting in a toot

Or another week has passed - is there more potential for better train traveling, or were there decisions made that give advantages to cars?

In the best case these information are already available and therebis no additional work for you

@hpod16 i want them to stop being zionxzis and stop their genocides

@hpod16 I need to verify my account, please.

@hpod16 Actually the state of the union is a good example. There were numerous topics of relevance. I wanna see how the EU institutions and canada will fill the term "associative membership" with meaning. How defensive cooperation will advance and how the digital regulatory framework gets enforced and how it will advance with the new kids act (while also get a deeper understanding how different councils, committees, politicians, parties & countries influence the development of such policies)

[claytribune@mastodon.social]

Absolutely, more EU institutions on Mastodon would be great. The fediverse needs more voices from Brussels.

[ananas@scicomm.xyz]

@hpod16 Yea sure but also kinda no.

In general, sure, I would like EU institutions here.

But if they are just one-way advertisement posts, I don't care and quickly mute those accounts. I don't need equivalent of spam mail into my fedi stream, I had enough of that in bsky and Twitter.

@hpod16

To me it seems simple - it's part of digital sovereignty, and a very cheap option for a government too.

[burt_cokain@don.linxx.net]

@hpod16 No, I want institutions to communicate through channels that are reasonably accessible to everyone. The best option is a feed on their own website. Any platform that requires users to sign up excludes people.

[tofuhuehnchen@fedi.at]

@eest9 @hpod16 Full Ack! And it should be not a one-way thing, i have the opinion, that they should interact more with their audience here.

And also Q&A-Sessions with members of the parliament, the administration or even the SM Team would be cool. The austrian newspaper "derstandard" does a similar format, in the form of a text livestream where an invited person answers questions from the community live. Duration is mostly about an hour.

[sorenhave@mastodon.nu]

@hpod16 Yes, please!

Plus more institutions and commissioners leaving X (or at least setting up a duplication service, without delays), so people over here doesn't have to read that vdL or other people have announced this or that on X.
