       A strong Europe needs independent digital spaces. We believe true digital sovereignty thrives on a competitive, contestable, open ecosystem where diverse platforms co-exist.Today, we’re expanding our presence to W, the new social media. By being on W, we want to boost alternatives and support all efforts toward a decentralised web.And we continue to invest into our presence on the Fediverse!

       @Gargron Well, I guess it helps that both Eurosky (which started as one giant GDPR violation and only decided to become 'european' after failing to raise millions for their global platform) and W-Social have a shocking amount of vocal support from a number of politicians that should stay far away from this.It pains me especially to see members of the European Greens shill for them.@EUCommission

       @Gargron hm, let me guess, in the ears of un-nerdy, commercial orientated people "mastodon" may sound a little bit too much like kindergarten🤷I love it, but seeing the rolling eyes when mentioning "mastodon" say a lot 🙄

       @Gargron From what I've read, W is super sketchy and run by a for profit organization. That means they're either planning on selling customer data or feeding ads. No thank you very much. @EUCommission

       @ChasMusic @esvrld@normal.style Yes! Check out the hashtag #plushtodon for examples. If you're in the US you can still get one from our shop: https://shop.joinmastodon.org/ Others are sold out but more will come later this year.
