Excited to announce that the @EUCommission has updated it's follow buttons on the website footer!

@hpod16 @EUCommission excellent news, a small step and a huge signal.

And what a day you chose to do it on... coincidence?

[clickymcticker@hachyderm.io]

@anuytstt @hpod16 They work for the commission, spelled out the change, provided a picture of the change, then spelled it out again in the alt text. That’s plenty for me.

@anuytstt @hpod16 If you link a website, what the people will see will change over time. Also, what people should look at is not always clear. In this case it's the footer. There are people who don't even know what a footer is. Screenshots help to focus and maintain what people should look at.

@hpod16 it’s amazing news - congratulations!

[clickymcticker@hachyderm.io]

@oaj @hpod16 I can’t speak for the EC, but the EFF’s statement on the matter should be the golden standard for governments and certain civil rights organizations. It should be deprioritized and not promoted, as opposed to fully severing the connection. As fascist as the platform is, their voice should reach the people already on it without encouraging more.

@hpod16 Great work! I know how slow big institutions can be ... so double congrats!

But still on meta-socials, so how big of a deal is leaving just X really...

Hey Hannah

why has the EU social media account determinedly ignored any questions raised about the EU's complicity in genocide, and the dismantling of European democracy and citizens rights in support of zionism?

is the intention for the social media accounts to be one-way broadcasts and not 2-way dialogue?

[erika@ruhr.social]

@hpod16 How unexpected! Really good news!

@EUCommission

[evoscale@c.im]

@hpod16 @EUCommission Massive props in deserved scale.

Next, changing educational systems to teach ranged solves, instead of restrictive, single solve mindsets.

[fj@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 Congrats to everyone involved!

[stonebear2@hachyderm.io]

@hpod16

Okay, that's really cool! Now, can we get more of this? We're Europeans, we should be using our own social media to communicate... Every one of those other media links is Amerikaanse...

_and_ COOL, longest journey starts with a single step...

@hpod16

@EUCommission congrats, but still two more to delete.

[emmecola@fediscience.org]

@hpod16 @EUCommission Great news! I hope/guess the next step will be closing the X account

[stux@mstdn.social]

@hpod16 @EUCommission It took some nagging but yaaaaay!

[badrihippo@fosstodon.org]

@hpod16 wow how cool! It's already great that Mastodon got on there, but removing X makes it even greater

@EUCommission

[andymor@cosocial.ca]

@hpod16 @EUCommission heck yeah!
