Here's my first Mastodon post!

@BrennpunktUA @hpod16 So we’ll meet again… in a different shape and form. It gets mysterious I guess
-
@hpod16 Be a role model yourself. Use the Fediverse. Bring celebrities and politicians into the Fediverse. Preferably publish content in the Fediverse.
@sparfindig
On EU politicians: the first European Commissioner Henna Virkkunen just joined last week.
@HennaVirkkunen
She was set up with an account on the official EC instance, so people know it's really her.
But I'll promote it amongst other politicians when I meet them too! -
@karlos there is an instance by the European Commission, but not by the European Parliament, so you make a fair point. A project for the future could be to get all EU institutions onto one EU Instance...
Inspiring comment, and thank you! -
@hpod16 Hello from the UK.
It's much more about values (like Václav Havel) than explaining rules. And some fun!@Tony_Meredith I suppose one could say that values can make you join a new platform, but the fun is needed to keep one coming back?
I tend to sign up for all the new platforms (I'm a social media manager, so I want to stay on top of it all) but only the ones that really engage me keep me coming back.
Oh, an active community, that's important. Impressed with reactions here so far!

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?Welcome.
It would be fantastic if the primary online presence of the union could be European.

Welcome.

@seindal I think there's more and more people who think like that, given recent geopolitical tensions...
One hopes that based on this we'll see a bigger movement to Mastodon.
The European Commission has been here for quite a few years... But follower numbers have always been limited by limited numbers on Mastodon itself. -
welcome !
@wigbert thanks for the warm welcome! I'm impressed so far!

And what do you communicate about here? -

The European Commission has been here for quite a few years... But follower numbers have always been limited by limited numbers on Mastodon itself.The EU institutions could be a driver in adaptability.
Post here thirty minutes before everywhere else, and the journalists will come, and the rest follows.

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 start a campaign localised to each country asking politicians of all shades to move into the #fediverse point out that they can add a #mastodon or fediverse channel to their existing content distributer de. Or use @bufferapp or something similar to post to multiple channels. Give them an idiots guide to connecting to their local or preferred server. @Ciarancuffe

@gelbphoenix @karlos would be cool if the European Parliament created a Mastodon Instance, and offered all MEPs (Members of the Parliament) the ability to create an account on their instance. I know some social media savvy MEPs would appreciate that... It's a good idea you have there!

Your big challenge is going to be understanding and then explaining why Mastodon and other fediverse services are a much better way for Europe to free itself from American (and Chinese) platforms than the Eurosky project!

@hpod16 @Ciarancuffe what has been your experience of “onboarding” onto #mastodon and how could we create a critical mass of politicians of all shades?

Pues, para empezar, Mastodon es el Internet libre que ningún billonario tecnofascista puede comprarse y manejar a su antojo, al tratarse de una red federada.
