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 smells like someone from Sweden had spent a lot of time in the European Commission just to join that fast a network which welcomes explicit right-wingers in their ad... i mean in the interviews. I can't remember the European Commission did something else that fast.

What is W? Another privately owned centralized service? Why? -

@EUCommission Public money, public code.
So no, I most certainly will not follow you on another closed source platform by someone trying to be the next Elon Musk.

@EUCommission
Because we are concerned about people visiting a American nazi-bar we have now come up with a solution by asking a European to build a European nazi-bar. -

@benroyce @EUCommission Meanwhile, ActivityPub and OStatus, as well as much of their implementing software, all originate from Europe. Sounds like that would've been the obvious choice.

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 When clicking on post asks me to login/create account instead of opening the post, I know to run away.
Also its proprietary garbage.

@EUCommission centralized and closed source... this way, the people in control have the power to decide who to ban, censor, etc.
What's next, mandatory "age" verification all over the web? -

@EUCommission Wie sage ich es freundlich? „Ihr habt sie ja wohl nicht alle!“ Ich kann nur den Kopf schütteln. Ihr habt wahrscheinlich einfach AfD und Schlimmeres verdient. Auf dass Ihr klug werden möget. Möge Gott unseren Seelen gnädig sein.
@padeluun
Bei mir weckt das so ganz quatschige Assoziationen mit "George W."
Geht Euch das nicht auch so?

@EUCommission Please continue investing in an open, decentralised and not-for-profit Web, yes! We know all too well where the alternative leads us.

@EUCommission I’ll skip it, thanks.
Was hoping for a privacy-preserving platform based on open source.
It’s fails on both those counts.
No different from X or Threads. So what’s the point?
A big nope!

@EUCommission instead of truly building a european alternative, the EC favours the same problematic model that brought us into this mess. Disappointed

@EUCommission How about, no thank you? I already have a strong, independent digital space. It's called the Fediverse. Unlike your pretend-independent, it's actually run by people for people.
