I think you've been misinformed. It has not been closed and they have 145k followers:

@EUCommission

@Curia

can't find the parliament a the moment.
It is clear from your post that you don't like the EU institutions, but they are on mastodon.
That's a fact.
have a nice day.

Well not sure they are so clueless, since the EU institutions have had their own mastodon instances for a while.
The Commission, the Parliament and the Court of Justice all have an instance.

I think it is more a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand does, ie politician answering before consulting the tech guys.
But we'll see.
Luckily (in this case) things go slow and we have time to alter the course.

A couple of arguments, if I may:

1) why reinvent the wheel ???

2) why a proprietary system (as it is derived from bluesky)

3) why not simply ask every member state to put up an official mastodon instance and use that ??? That would be much simpler and cheaper !!

Good luck
