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.

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.

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

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.

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

I voted other.

We have more than enough representation from North America and Europe. I'd rather see the Fediverse expand into Asia, ideally in communities where English speakers can easily join in.

Ich würde aber nur folgen, wenn mich die Themen interessierten. Die EU-Institutionen fühlen sich für mich fern und abstrakt an. Ihre SoMe-Kanäle sollten klarer und greifbarer machen, was die EU für jeden Menschen bedeutet. Verlautbarungen von Politiker:innen und Hochglanz-PR fände ich uninteressant.

Something which, as I'm sure won't come as a surprise to you at this point , makes me boil over with frustration. #leaveX #plus1

This is what Twitter / X did. It started out with real people sharing things they thought interesting, then added charities, corporations / brands, institutions, public offices, ads, bots and AI... It is now slop.

Your account is the best EU-associated account I've seen on Mastodon.

However, since that bar is low, that doesn't suffice as the compliment you deserve for your good work

Please keep it up, it feels like you're actively listening and that it might actually make a difference to engage in the conversations on your timeline.

It's completely scandalous that they exclusively communicate on a rightwing algorithmically biased network owned by a person who does Hitler salutes in public and inflames the masses at far right rallies in the UK and Germany.
