EU leaving Fediverse (Mastodon & PeerTube) because no one wants to operate the servers

“In recent years, a total of 40 institutions have opened an account with EU Voice, including the EU Data Protection Supervisor, the European Court of Justice and the EU Commission. The video platform, on the other hand, was used by six institutions … the EU institutions were thus the largest group of public institutions in the Fediverse worldwide.”

Mastodon und Peertube: EU macht Fediverse dicht, weil niemand die Server betreiben will

EU-Institutionen sind auf Mastodon und Peertube aktiv, dank eines Pilotprojekts des Europäischen Datenschutzbeauftragten. Weil aber nach zwei Jahren keine EU-Institution die Fediverse-Server übernehmen will, werden diese im Mai kurzerhand abgeschaltet.

“…the EDPS regards the pilot project as a great success. It has proven that public institutions such as EU institutions can offer social media platforms that respect the fundamental rights of the individual. They are thus an alternative to the usual platforms that belong to a handful of large players … Or not - because none of the more than 40 bodies, institutions and agencies throughout the EU can be found that want to operate and moderate two servers permanently.”

@aral they just don't want to because they're too greedy and unwilling to do so.
