Elon Musk and X are once again proving why institutions should never rely on corporate-owned, centrally-controlled social media platforms to reach their people.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0589g0dqq7o

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.https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/12/the-world-needs-social-sovereignty/

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: #EU: https://commission.europa.eu/about/contact/representations-member-states_en#USA: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials

@Mastodon@mastodon.socialThe fact that EU taxpayer money was spent advertising on X would make me fuming, if I were an EU citizen/resident/taxpayer.

@rl_dane @Mastodon It supposedly hasn’t been used for advertising for years, the advertising platform has some features meant for ‘brands’, ones that the EC ‘abused’ (according to X)

@fluffgar @Mastodon I've noticed the Greens have Mastodon accounts. Unlike many SNP MPs/MSPs who have decided the private enterprise Bluesky is the way to go... Duh!

@MyricaGale > I've noticed the Greens have Mastodon accountsDo they host their own Mastodon service(s), or do they contract it out to the Mastodon company's hosting service?> Unlike many SNP MPs/MSPs who have decided the private enterprise Bluesky is the way to goAre you sure? In theory, they could be hosting their own PDS, and using the BlackSky relay (or another one independent of BlueSky), while allowing BS members to follow them.Just curious.@fluffgar @Mastodon

@strypey @fluffgar @Mastodon The Green accounts I follow seem to be on Mastodon.scotMost of the SNP ones are on Bluesky (one recent one had remarked about being worried about the step of leaving X).I have seen a few relayed from Bluesky but not on Mastodon itself.

@MyricaGale > The Green accounts I follow seem to be on Mastodon.scotThat's a start. But I'll be more impressed when they're posting as @candidate.name@greenparty.org.uk> Most of the SNP ones are on BlueskyEven that's a step forward from Xitter. But again, I'll be more impressed when I see them posting on either network using snp.org. I mean, rather than being under someone else's domain ... ; )@fluffgar @Mastodon

@strypey @fluffgar @Mastodon Give them time 😉 - I'd hope it would come when they realise they can set up their own servers
