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 RE: "And we continue to invest into our presence on the Fediverse!"

Phew! Thank you for that! Please, please, please, don't sacrifice the latter for the former, specially, if you'd want to keep investing with your actions, not just your words, in an "open ecosystem" where we all benefit from open, public conversations

@EUCommission Well that's some nerve coming to the fediverse to adverstise a cash-grab social network
- Built on a whim in five minutes and with such pauper decentralization that it only federated with ATproto months after launch
- Gaslighting journalists by pretending to be "the first" EU network and stealing credit for decades of grassroots work
- Lobbying government officials and institutions to join to use them as ransom to get citizens to follow
- That on top of that has gone closed source -

@EUCommission O no, it feels as if you're falling for a very dodgy platform/business model. W Social feels awkward and almost like the emperor's new clothes.

@EUCommission useful reading for anyone interested in this W thing and why it’s probably a bad idea by @_elena

@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 What is up with this one-letter social platform naming convention 🫠

@Gargron Mastodon is obviously not the kind of venture capital luring tech that the EU is salivating over @EUCommission

@EUCommission as you believe Open Source and Libre software is vital for the European Digital Sovereignty, can you share the link to W source code? Are we really just changing our padlock from a US one to a european one?
Support. Libre. Software.
Support. Our. Freedom.
