ResPublicae.eu adminThe #Wikidata query to find #ResPublicae accounts for MEPs has been updated on our frontpage:
https://w.wiki/62$8
It now includes languages and political groups so that you can more easily find accounts you want to follow (or mute!).
HistoPol (#HP) 🏴 🇺🇸 🏴Great news! - In contrast to the lagging US #congress more and more Members of the #EuropeanParliament do have #Mastodon accounts.
Check out, if your MP is already there. If not, write to him/her to join! - This is how we dethrone the corporate sites. People of relevance in RL must engage in the #fediverse.
@FediFollows
As with the #journalists and #scientists, welcome them and #followfollowfollow
@HistoPol Thanks! Most #ResPublicae mirrors are hosted without the original account's explicit cooperation. Hopefully, more MEPs and #EU institutions will notice the benefits of the fediverse and take the lead themselves, so at some point we become redundant.
On #Wikidata you can also see a list of "official" fediverse accounts for MEPs and former MEPs:

The list currently includes:

Thanks.
It is of vital importance for all democracies in #Europe (and elsewhere) that they and all supranational and national institutions all move to the #Fediverse if they are to sustain fair and free elections.
If #Erdogan wins again in the #TurkishElections2023 corporate #SocialMedia, in particular #Twitter, will bear a chief responsibility:
The European Network (@[email protected])
Deepfakes, cheapfakes, and Twitter censorship mar Turkey’s elections. As the main candidates head to a runoff, disinformation is running riot on Turkish social media. “When internet users turned to Google to search for Kılıçdaroğlu on that day, the false news was among the top suggestions made by the algorithm." https://www.wired.co.uk/article/deepfakes-cheapfakes-and-twitter-censorship-mar-turkeys-elections #Turkey #Turkiye #Elections #Politics #Disinformation #Deepfakes #Twitter #Censorship

PLEASE BOOST from anywhere
Time to start fighting for #European #democracy, too!
Today, #Erdogan is set to win the #turkishelections2023, which were rigged, at least on #SocialMedia, by #ElonMusk (1) and others.
What can we do?--Give all the #MP's and institutions of the #EU a voice in the #Fediverse, regardless of your political inclinations. Make this THE go-to platform for...

...for political discourse.
#Democracy doesn't mean to muzzle dissenting voices, but to engage with them in a civil and intelligent manner.

Video Processing WikiIt is awesome that so many European politicians are on the #fediverse. I should make a map of them.
In contrast I only know of about 5 US green party members on the #fediverse.
