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:
#EU: https://commission.europa.eu/about/contact/representations-member-states_en
#USA: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials
Diego de la Hera@Mastodon I think @govdirectory might be useful in this context: https://www.govdirectory.org/

Jan AinaliWhile we do try to collect contact details for all public organizations in the world, we don't collect such about politicians/representatives, which I think was the ask here.
(Separately, credit should also go to @wikimediaDE who arguably has supported the project more than WMSE.)
