Sometimes, people on Facebook don't know the Fediverse exists.

@hpod16 'Eu-citizen-only" ? <_<
@darkoneko the social media manager in question may have read over that part….

@hpod16 the problem is that the same people that don't know will run into lots of UX issues when trying Fediverse. I know a few sadly...

@hpod16 Being locked into a Server is why I do not post often, I don't see what people in Europe really think. But on X I do. It is a true hodge podge of posts from around the globe. I try to stick to Warcraft, animal and science stuff. Very little of that here. On Mastodon they just post Hate Trump Hate America. Why would I want to see that all day.
@MissWarcraft @hpod16 if you want to see what I think, all you need to do is follow me. You are not locked into a server unless you chose to

@hpod16 viva a Europa!

The European Commission likes to tell them. @hpod16 was the fediverse created in europe? it's insane to say this when the technology itself is being mantained and expanded by people all around the world, including americans, asians, south americans, africans, etc.

@szkodnix any opportunity to promote Fedi
(Although on second reading I admit that could have been better phrased, they are asking for an EU-only platform and Fedi is global...)Do European universities host instances? I've tried to get mine to host one for staff/students and faculty but I got nowhere.

I see science and humor because of my hashtag follows.
Also fuck trump but that's kind of a worldwide trend these days

@lucien
I know, I know...
When I first started (a week ago), I struggled with understanding the federated nature.
But I just put out a post to ask questions, and people explained things to me, and I was amazed with the awesome community out here! -
But is UX better there now?
I can only speak for Bluesky and on mobile it's horrible.

The European Commission likes to tell them. @hpod16 BTW, a “citizen-only” network developed and controlled by a state actor sounds pretty dystopian to me. Yet people are actively advocating for it …

@moftasa
Yeah, what the Commission answered here isn't quite what they asked.
But with a generous reading, still an opportunity to promote the Fediverse.I read it like the person who asked wanted a silo while the EU Commission social media people answered with the actually open alternative. Like even if there were Fedi servers that allow only people verified to be EU citizens (or residents), one could still interact with all the world across servers.

The European Commission likes to tell them. @hpod16 Thank you for doing this! We need people to hear about the Fediverse.

In this case I'm not against this kind of answering only half the question tbh.
My online world would be poorer without seeing people from all over the world. Including the cool kind of people from the US.
