@EUPetitionBot @hpod16 @nachtet Merde

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) -
@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.

@phillycodehound @iolaire looks cool! Reminds me a lot of what Tweetdeck used to be, which I used religiously back in 2017. Thanks for building this!

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 Have more people talk about the Fediverse. Encourage (and teach) members of parliament(s) to move their social media from proprietary (and toxic) platforms to Mastodon or other Fediverse applications.
Stop promoting X, facebook etc. on the EC website, or at least don't prioritise them (see image). Make a conscious push in the right direction. You have agency, use it instead of staying passive and claiming "but that's where the users are".
