@AliceStollmeyer That’s cool, but when I click to follow on my mobile, I am passed on to their account on their server to follow, but then I need to log in to my account, which is in a different server and that is not possible (or well hidden).

Thanks for spreading the voice!
That's a small but significant step in the right direction.
PS: this is the original announcement:

@hfalcke Why is it not possible? It should be a simple matter of putting in your name that has your server attached ex pineywoozle@masto.ai

@AliceStollmeyer bluesky is still american, but far left. Also LinkedIn, it's microslop, American Giga corpo. You still have work to do.

@hfalcke @AliceStollmeyer Typically when you click 'follow' without being logged in, it prompts you to enter your full handle and then sends you to your own instance to complete the follow request. is that not what's happening here? -

@Pineywoozle i’m sure there’s a trick to do it but in the simple way, I tried to do it I got nowhere. And then you don’t want to spend too much time on this.

@hfalcke I had the same issue, it was fine when I followed them through the original post: https://eupolicy.social/@hpod16/116538344713848285

@Random9 Who's "you"? I don't think she works for any EU institution. Meanwhile, if YOU want the upper chamber of the EU legislative to be on Mastodon, ask your government (I've asked mine, along with the national broadcaster and a few others... Chances are your Minister of Foreign Affairs and my Minister of Transport, both EU "Senators", would tweet via VPN). And if you want to go all the way to the top and have the EU executive on here, ask this guy:

Anyway it's great that mastodon is listed.

@AliceStollmeyer LinkedIn though... it's still a problem because it's microslop's social network

@aetios @AliceStollmeyer I was pointed to their profile on their server and then I clicked follow and then I had to login and it was the wrong server. Maybe I was too dumb, but I guess I may not be a sole exception

@hfalcke Works for me. It's a two-step process, when you click "Follow" (or "Følg" in Norwegian), you get to input the name of the instance (where your mastodon account is). This is automatically filled in for me, probably since I've done similar before. Hitting a "Go" button brings you to your account, with e.g. the profile of the European Commission displayed, where you may hit "Follow" to actually have the follow action completed.

@AliceStollmeyer But they still list 453 EU-related X-accounts.

@AliceStollmeyer But on their personal page it's still there and their "x" profiles are still exists. So this is just another scam, feeding, cheating, etc. Disgusting!

EU Commission has a duty to inform EU citizens without discrimination.
Unfortunately EU people are still using X, it is not banned.
