@hennavirkkunen Tervetuloa tänne! Seuraavaksi Europaan komissio voisi vaikka perustaa oman Mastodon-palvelimen ja siirtää sosiaalisen median kommunikaationsa sinne.

Komissiolla on jo Mastodon-palvelin. Se voisi toki olla primaarimpi kanava ja olla muutakin kuin yksisuuntaista megafonia.

@EUCommission
@kallekn @hennavirkkunen@osma @EUCommission @hennavirkkunen Tätä muistelinkin. No, ehkä tämä tööttäys suurimmalta Mastodon-palvelimelta on lähinnä tökkäys äXälle?

Good question. The Mastodon instance for the European Comission is this one: ec.social-network.europa.eu/@E…
so why would she use mastodon.social

This is blindly too little.
Ban twitter. It is a dirty needle, and it's CSAM, and its subversive, and it's fascism.

@leanderlindahl @ilumium @hennavirkkunen Thanks. But it's indeed a bit weird she's not on the official instance of the @EUCommission

@hennavirkkunen hello Henna,
And why wait until slow gears of governments and legislators finally catch up with this. I have been looking at the web pages and online presences of politicians, organisations, companies etc here in Ireland. If I see a link to follow them on X I contact them and ask them how they can morally justify keeping a presence there. Yes we need to look at legal action agains X and Grok, but while we're waiting for that we can keep pushing those entities to #LoseTheXLink

@janwlrvn @ilumium @hennavirkkunen @EUCommission my guess is she's testing it out a bit. And .social is where you wind up if you try it out as a regular user without the IT folks involved.
The article says "only this evening did she register an account"

@leanderlindahl @janwlrvn Quite frankly, I don't mind the server she's on. Just happy she's made the excellent choice to join Mastodon.

Ah welcome here, and thank you for the notice.You might want to consider getting on the ec.social-network.europa.eu server, like @EUCommission
Having a dedicated EU server for messaging, will be convenient for journalists and send a strong signal.

@hennavirkkunen I think you should invite @_elena to give you a run down on Masto and the Fediverse. She's our ambassador (not officially, but in my mind).
You can also ask @pallenberg for insights and advice.
And @carl for the "scientist's" and psychological defence experts point of view.
