@jrt @EUCommission @HennaVirkkunen Having an active account as she has is great, but I agree about the missing links. Links have to be added to official websites, and the EU doesn't pay enough attention to that in the case of fediverse accounts. Furthermore, they should start making Twitter links less prominent on the official sites.

@EUCommission @HennaVirkkunen Welcome! (Though I think I already saw a post by her already ๐Ÿ˜).
Now, letโ€™s encourage all MEPs to leave that oligarch controlled platform (X), and address EU citizens using exclusively the EU controlled @ec.social-network.europa.eu Mastodon instance. I would much like to know what theyโ€™re saying, since I have no account there, but Iโ€™m here. What do you say? ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

@dmian @EUCommission @HennaVirkkunen Hell yeah! I have no account on X or BlueSky either.

@dmian @EUCommission @HennaVirkkunen My profile is from European continent, but not EU citizen, and there're others fediverse platforms who users are from European and other World Continents (ok said and also maybe EU citizens). It's choice about using "online communication software" ;)

@EUCommission @HennaVirkkunen A belated welcome! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ

Greetings from Ireland. I'm very interested in digital dependencies/divestment and the possibilities of open source for member states, public bodies, and individuals across the Union.

Looking forward to seeing the EU's work in these areas. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ

The first step was o.k. - to come to here.
The second step now is necessary: protect our values and democracy by activating the DSA like it was meant.

In this post you find the hints:

@EUCommission @HennaVirkkunen So... Now how about we motivate officials to not only investigate X but leave that hate and CSAM filled toxic platform behind? Owned by someone who believes that Europe has no right to exist and that democracy is not the way forward.
