RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/115762325563043978Oh we have the same wish @EUCommission I think it'd be a powerful move if you deleted your X account (a platform that has become a vector of misinformation and a cesspool of hate).By the way, your homepage states: "Follow us on" followed by the icons of Facebook, X and LinkedIn. I always found it odd, since those are algorithm-based U.S. companies and you are the EUROPEAN Commission. How about putting your Mastodon icon on your homepage?Thank you for your consideration#LeaveX #SaveSocial

@_elena the problem isn't the nationality, and the root cause of the issues aren't even algorithms, the root cause is surveilance capitalism, the lack of regulation of the advertising sector, the huge size of big tech, the lack/war on interoperability they all wage.@EUCommission

@_elena @EUCommission there are very few websites with Mastodon icons. Including #theguardian #commonweal #thenational and government petitions. Wonder why that is..

@_elena @EUCommission that would be such an amazing christmas present. I would be smiling through the entire holiday and start the new year full of hope. (The biggest threat tour democracies and our union are the algorithmic US tech giants keeping our populations in a stranglehold.)

@skribe @_elena @EUCommission yes it will happen. When we're right we're right. Nothing was ever achieved by giving up. I'm glad Elena has such a way with words, hitting the right tone. And I'm glad their intern (😂) posted a Christmas greeting indicating the right direction of thought.

@_elena @skribe I'm a dreamer and I picture the commission taking a quick decision to do this on the 23rd having submitted that test balloon. In the spirit of Christmas. Surely this must have been considered already? Imagine the PR win... Immeasurable...

@_elena @EUCommission Excellent point. A lot of institutions around Europe could *at least* have a presence, even if minimal on Mastodon with the icon on their website. Get themselves ready when the stinky ship finally completely sinks.I mean, what are they waiting for exactly?What would it take?

@_elena @leanderlindahl if it's anything like the organisations and corporates that I've dealt with over the years, then even adding the Mastodon icon would be considered a major decision. Usually above the pay grade of whoever controls the web page.

@_elena @EUCommission thank you yourself. I'm also an "into the void screamer". But we'll get there. We know we're right. And anyone taking the time to listen and consider what we're saying will know it too. That something is hard and takes a long time is not a reason not to do it. Slowly slowly the tide is turning.(Look at the footer of https://bundestag.de for instance)

@_elena @EUCommission Mastodon is a celebration of European ingenuity, vitality, innovation and resilience. How many other power blocks in the world have their own free, open, federated social media? I count zero.

@_elena @EUCommission leaving these "social" networks only to the bad guys would put more people under these misinformation vectors.I think that public administrations must continiue publishing to the networks in order to have their values available.This is not the same foer personal accounts of people from these administrations. They should leave these networks, no need to have their words corrupted.

@muminitaly @_elena We have almost 60 #universities in Germany with #Mastodon accounts and the logo on their websites, see the great lists of @scammo 👉 https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/Check the details of that page and you will be directed to nearly 150 research institutes in Germany active an Mastodon, cities and communities etc.. And their numbers of followers are constantly increasing. Isn't that a great development for the #fediverse?Please, @EUCommission, come on and join this movement. This would help enormously in demonstrating #Europe 's #digitalsovereignty. #EU #socialmedia #Unis4Mastodon

@muminitaly @_elena @EUCommission one thing we can do is to keep hammering the point with them. As some have already pointed out, we're not asking them to abandon their profiles on those platforms. For now, at least, just add a mastodon link to the list of "follow us" options. Maybe even as the number 1 link.

@_elena @EUCommission It might be more productive to contact your national and EP representatives. Unlike a broadcast social media account, their future depends on listening to voters.

@_elena @EUCommission this post got (when writing this) 865 stars and 694 boosts, which is very nice. I'd also like us to give the commission credit for posting on Mastodon. 👍If we want to help them further we can provide feedback and ask for this change at the bottom of their page where it says "give us more feedback". If they get ~1000 comments about removing X and adding Mastodon to the footer, I'm sure it'll help the web team get the greenlight to do it. #LeaveXhttps://commission.europa.eu

@leanderlindahl Leander! Thank you for this fantastic initiative 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 and sorry if I haven’t followed up / replied to messages but I’ve been mostly offline with family. LMK how I can help. Like if you create a brand new message with instructions I’d be happy to boost it (although most Fedi people are offline on weekends). Maybe Monday morning?

@_elena that's a great idea. I've been thinking maybe we should combine it with a "petition"? I have a feeling you'd be good at hitting the right note and sum up what we who sign it are calling for in the petition.Maybe there's an English version or equivalent of this tool? https://weact.campact.de/

@leanderlindahl Did it: "I expect all EU institutions to become independent of US platforms controlled by fascists, which constantly violate European rules. That's why I find it painful when X is still being advertised here under social media! Instead, you have a Mastodon account (a decentralised, algorithm-free, democracy-promoting alternative) and are keeping it secret here! So that no one discovers you there?Build your own independent server in the Fediverse, @_elena @EUCommission
