What's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account, and posting something with dire geopolitical consequences? We're way past the point where it's wise for European leaders and institutions to rely on a presence on Xβ€”and other US platforms are not a good long-term solution either. More should follow the example of the @EUCommission and provide their updates directly, without middlemen, through the fediverse.

@Gargron @EUCommission

Perhaps Mastodon should not use a US Hosting Provider.

@NetscapeNavigator

"Mastodon" does not use US-hosting providers.

@Gargron @EUCommission

@selea @Gargron @EUCommission It does indeed. Look it up.

@NetscapeNavigator

Last time I checked it was en European provider, and that was two month ago.

So you should provide evidence to your claim.

@selea You're lazy, which makes you stupid. https://whoishostingthis.com

@admin I said, hosting services. That provider is part of their hosting services.

@NetscapeNavigator

Just to chime in...

You did not.

Also, please dont confuse mastodon.social with "mastodon" the software.

Thanks.

@NetscapeNavigator

Also, I am also hosting mastodon.
It is running on servers in Finland.

Dont confuse "mastodon.social" with "mastodon".

Clown.
