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

@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
@karlos @EUPetitionBot @nachtet
Ahh this is an independent organisation that monitors the ECI, separate from the EU Institutions.
Sorry, I don't know anyone there -
@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@hpod16 @tizianomattei
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!

@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". -

It’s good people are paying attention to the order of icons on our websites.
can’t say much more about that right now, except keep checking this -
@alex_p_roe @FediTips
DeepL is probably my favourite machine translation service, also, it's European!@hpod16 @alex_p_roe @FediTips Night and day levels of improvement over Google Translate for European Portuguese, that's for sure -

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 Social and economic investments into:
* Spreading the good word about it (it's like if old school Twitter worked like Email)
* Informing the general public about how to best use it
* Find means of utilizing its modularity (I'm not even on Mastodon at all, I'm on Pleroma...yet we are still talking)
* Invest in BIG, SAFE, semi-vetted instances...
and that is going to be the hardship I'd say. What actor would want to do that out of good will? Social media post-advent-of-facebook lived on this immense VC funding and the cultural explosion it brought, they then ensh*ttified their services and cranked up the data gathering to try to turn a sustainable profit or to gain further funding to sustain themselves... How would we keep places safe for everyone, especially younger adults while also not infringing on anyones freedom of speech or expression. Would EU-backed initiatives allow LGBTQ voices to do more than advocate...as in socialize...as in...allowing sexualized language at all? Remember that if EU-money goes to it...it will be publically scrutinized too... so it's a tightrope, for sure... hard nut to crack.
