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:

BaseFortify@Mastodon While I support this initiative I do believe it is up to Mastodon to proof itself. People I talk to think Bluesky is the easier alternative. That said the federated structure should appeal to government agencies and somebody should say they are at least obliged to provide coverage
Vesipeto Vetehinen@BaseFortify @Mastodon Bluesky is not even in the running if the goal is European social (digital) sovereignty... It's made and controlled by an American company.
@vetehinen @Mastodon Agreed, but Mastodon is harder to use compared to Bluesky, that must be taken into account.
