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

@hpod16 I need to verify my account, please.

@hpod16 Actually the state of the union is a good example. There were numerous topics of relevance. I wanna see how the EU institutions and canada will fill the term "associative membership" with meaning. How defensive cooperation will advance and how the digital regulatory framework gets enforced and how it will advance with the new kids act (while also get a deeper understanding how different councils, committees, politicians, parties & countries influence the development of such policies)

Absolutely, more EU institutions on Mastodon would be great. The fediverse needs more voices from Brussels.

@hpod16 Yea sure but also kinda no.

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.

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

[burt_cokain@don.linxx.net]

@hpod16 No, I want institutions to communicate through channels that are reasonably accessible to everyone. The best option is a feed on their own website. Any platform that requires users to sign up excludes people.

@eest9 @hpod16 Full Ack! And it should be not a one-way thing, i have the opinion, that they should interact more with their audience here.

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.

[sorenhave@mastodon.nu]

@hpod16 Yes, please!

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.
