Here's my first Mastodon post!

@ammdias I think it depends how you want to define influencer. Some prefer the term content creator.
People automatically think of vapid beauty influencers making money with random brands (although, good for them, I ain't here to throw shade).
But really isn't anyone who posts online a content creator? And if you do so successfully and become a thought-leader in your niche, are you not an influencer?@hpod16 @ammdias Since most of the "paid influencing"-business is so closely tied to advertising, I think the road to "promoted content" in Fediverse is very long and complicated.
As you point out, we already have plenty of "content creator"-influencers, even people who make money out of it (selling their own services) but I don't think the advertising ecosystem can ever exist in fediverse the same way it does in VC-driven social media. And that puts some constraints on fedi audience.

I just had the same idea to make a bot, using IFTTT and a WebHook by URLooker. But a WebHook only works with a payed IFTTT, which I don't have.
So @hpod16 , may be you can tell the ECI to explore the Fediverse or at last provide an RSS feed, to present their Mail-Newsletter at last.This is the typical "non Fediverse" they have:
(Yes, they are on BlueSky, but the Link to the Fediverse does not work mostly) -

Thanks for the suggestion. can you give me the link where you took the screenshot? -

@hpod16 @karlos @EUPetitionBot huh, I see the posts. It links to current ECIs, with descriptions in different languages.

@nachtet @karlos @EUPetitionBot
Now I do too!
Sometimes when I check a new account, no posts appear, and then a while after I follow them I do start to see the posts -
@Richerpacker
Or, the ones who post 30 toots per day may learn to use the "quiet public" privacy setting
@hpod16@tizianomattei @Richerpacker
If I use quiet public to respond, will it not appear in people's feeds then?
Because yeah, I am responding to a lot of comments right now -
@karlos @EUPetitionBot @nachtet
Thanks for the suggestion. can you give me the link where you took the screenshot?@hpod16 @EUPetitionBot @nachtet Its from simply the Homepage:
https://citizens-initiative.euAnd next to the newsletter, they offer events to. May be those are also good to share here

@EUPetitionBot @karlos @hpod16 oh! Wow, I had no idea! Thank you for your service

Ahh this is an independent organisation that monitors the ECI, separate from the EU Institutions.
Sorry, I don't know anyone there -

That's a good question. Frankly speaking, I'm not sure. The fedi tips make a statement on "hashtag followers" but not on "followers".
I get a lot of feeds where people I follow answer somebody else. But I'm not sure about their settings.
It might not solve the issue, but "quiet public" is good practice, anyway.https://fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon/

@gagagoogle @hpod16 @Mastodon Spammers like to use undermaintained/unmaintained servers as a door into the Fediverse. I am running a script to silence/block servers running old software, that's > 2500 servers autoblocked
For improving moderation support, maybe the EU could help fund IFTAS https://about.iftas.org/
@gunchleoc @hpod16 @Mastodon I'll read up later on. Just wanna wish you good luck with the funding. Hopefully the EU bureaucracy has it's focus on the alternative social media now and the framework needed to support it.

Here's my first Mastodon post!
My mission out here? To understand and promote Mastodon, the only large European social media platform (to my knowledge).
How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 Welcome!
