The #EuropeanCommission and other #EU institutions have been present on #Mastodon for some time.
However, there is still no reference to #fediverse #socialmedia on European institutional websites, while the traditional ones are still present.
Why not update these pages, highlighting an ethical policy choice?

A lot of the reason is there's no easy link to mastodon.

It's definitely an issue, but work is being done on it. This might help?

I hope it helps
Glad to see attention is being put on it.

Mastodon needs can easy link for websites to add.

@kevinrns @meuwese @grimjfoot Share buttons have different use case than those traditional direct links EU websites have.

They don't make YouTube link to share EU website contents to YouTube, so links to EU's own Mastodon instance should not require any additional 3rd party middlemen services. (Surprising number of people can copy-paste the URL from a web browser to their Mastodon client, if they really want to.)
