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

[leanderlindahl@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 just get me the aforementioned magic trio on here and I'll buy you a cake. I mean you have them down the hall from where you work, should be easy.

A purple cake

> to create a place (in the comments) for people to have genuine debate.

Thats a good example of what I meant by "shaping" the ecosystem. Creating spaces for informed debate was never the objective of adtech , so these platforms are not designed to support it. Mastodon suffers somewhat from emulating architecturally the old Twitter, but the beauty of an open source activitypub / fediverse is that it will evolve if people put their minds and energies in the right direction

@leanderlindahl @hpod16 @HennaVirkkunen
As far as I know, Henna's account is transmit-only - the replies are not checked at all. Still, better than most others.

[truls46@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 I can absolutely understand that! And I think it would be perfectly OK, if a group of people was sitting behind an account to distribute the workload.

[cthon1c@kolektiva.social]

@hpod16 never thought I’d say this but today I’m a proud three percenter

[leanderlindahl@mastodon.social]

@richlv @hpod16 @HennaVirkkunen you know the saying: beggars can't be choosers.
My main concern is to get a healthy informationsystem in place where I could read what Kallas and VDL say in important statements about policy events such as Greenland and Ukraine.

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.

@hpod16 @archos boost pls

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@slothrop @hpod16 The Fediverse in their own instance should be their primary, everything else a fallback

[gins@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@hpod16 @truls46

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.

[rastal@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 Real people with their own opinions, niche interests, shares, etc are far more interesting and far superior to institutions, public offices, corporations, brands, bots, etc.

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.

[sjcooke66@mastodon.social]

@verbedr @hpod16 'All of them'. YES!
Being on Fedi is a surer sign of trustworthiness than being with the Algos!

[leanderlindahl@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 @richlv @HennaVirkkunen yes, you're right. I stand corrected. I don't actually know this – it was my deduction from always only seeing them quoted from "the deepfake porn site formerly known as Twitter" (FT) in various news media when important world events happen.

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

[sudelsurium@troet.cafe]

@hpod16 Grundsätzlich ja. Vor allem als klares Bekenntnis zu Big-Tech-Alternativen und europäischer digitaler Unabhängigkeit.

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.

[zelda@m.ai6yr.org]

@hpod16

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.

#Fediverse #EU #Asia

[iamada@tech.lgbt]

@hpod16 better than literally anywhere else, so absolutely yes.

[muddle@infosec.exchange]

@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.
@leanderlindahl @richlv @HennaVirkkunen

[makelog@mastodon.social]

@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
