Mastodawn

European Commission May 17, 2024

Our commitment to the fediverse is here to stay.

Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.

We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.

Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.

This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!

@EUCommission Now it is quite confusing. Which instance was the old one, which is the new one, and are you just migrating? Or are both going to be around? Which one is the primary one, if there is such a thing, or if they are equal, how do they differ? Could you, please, clarify?

@zegkljan @EUCommission I'm guessing the old one is already gone, and it's now only this one. So it's not complicated.

@Dutchinvestor @EUCommission I am not sure about that. Both https://social.network.europa.eu and https://ec.social-network.europa.eu work (at the time of writing this).

EU Voice

@zegkljan @EUCommission Oh you are right, that looks complicated.... There I was thinking EU keeps it simple for a change. Servers names are also needlessly long, why not just use something short like social.eu or whatever.
