@randahl These "Share on Mastodon" sightings always interest me because they're so rare.
They're always broken, which I think is why they're rare.
Anyone who clicks on that link will end up at the wrong place. The 'ec.socialnetwork.europa.eu' web server won't recognize your fedi login, and if you use a native fedi app, there's no way for that link to take you to it.
Fedi is like email, but didn't copy email's 'mailto:' protocol definition, allowing smooth UX across different sites and apps.
@randahl I know that few people reading this care, because fedi has become a self-selecting demo of IT enthusiasts/experts. But this kind of broken UX matters to most nontechnical users; it drives them away.
Note how this doesn't affect Bluesky or other services that use similar https: links. That's because unlike fedi the address that handles the UI and logins is centralized (i.e. 'bsky.app').

@randahl @EUCommission Simultaneously so right and yet so wrong: https://cyberinsider.com/eu-calls-vpns-a-loophole-that-needs-closing-in-age-verification-push/
@thechildofroth Just wanted to say that; if the commission would stop trying to make the internet a worse place, that'd be great.

@randahl @EUCommission The screenshot also shows the one thing the EU values over everything, including human rights and keeping our planet livable for humans: competitiveness!

I don't recall seeing a post with 1000 stars until this one. Nice!

@tasket The geeks are working on something to fix that, but it takes time because we don't want it working just for mastodon, but the whole Fediverse.

@gunchleoc Sincerely doubt that. It doesn't take nine years to fix something like this, and if it took that long to recognize it as a priority then they don't know what they are doing.

@randahl @EUCommission Thats the first step towards killing mastodon with age restrictions that can't be implemented

@tasket Mastodon has 4.2k open issues and a handful of people to work on them. Everything is a priority. And that's just 1 project.

@randahl @EUCommission I would love they staffed their account more to be able to reply or at least react to public opinion on fedi.
