@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 😁).
Now, let’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 they’re saying, since I have no account there, but I’m here. What do you say? 🇪🇺

@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! 👋🏼

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. 🤞🏼

@EUCommission @HennaVirkkunen

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:

Two questions:
Why do you have still an X-account when talking about #DigitalSouvereignity?
Where can I found all the other members of EU-commission in the #fediverse?
