MastodonElon Musk and X are once again proving why institutions should never rely on corporate-owned, centrally-controlled social media platforms to reach their people.
Today we are calling on institutions around the world to take control of their #DigitalSovereignty, including their social accounts. Governments should communicate directly with their citizens on open platforms, not through the mouthpiece of a corporation.

If you care about digital sovereignty and want to see your government join the #fediverse, contact them to say that #ItsTimeToAbolishX.
Help us make a list of how to get in touch with a representative in your area under this post, and don’t forget to #hashtag so your neighbours can find it 👇🏽 we’ll start:

> I've noticed the Greens have Mastodon accounts
Do they host their own Mastodon service(s), or do they contract it out to the Mastodon company's hosting service?
> Unlike many SNP MPs/MSPs who have decided the private enterprise Bluesky is the way to go
Are you sure? In theory, they could be hosting their own PDS, and using the BlackSky relay (or another one independent of BlueSky), while allowing BS members to follow them.
Just curious.
@MyricaGale
> The Green accounts I follow seem to be on Mastodon.scot
That's a start. But I'll be more impressed when they're posting as @candidate.name@greenparty.org.uk
> Most of the SNP ones are on Bluesky
Even that's a step forward from Xitter. But again, I'll be more impressed when I see them posting on either network using snp.org. I mean, rather than being under someone else's domain ... ; )

> I'd hope it would come when they realise they can set up their own servers
Has no one told them? If not, why not?!
