Santa can keep the toys…

What we really want for Christmas: people before algorithms.

Blue textured background with white starburst snowflake shapes scattered across it. Centered white text reads: “All I want for Christmas is no more addictive algorithms.” The European Commission logo appears in the bottom right corner.

@EUCommission
You don't need a Christmas miracle for that! Just do it, make the right decisions, and ditch the Digital Omnibus!

@EUCommission
I won't add to all the other comments, the idea is clear, and you're the ones in position to make it happen. So just fucking do it?

@EUCommission
But I see those algorithm and data hungry platforms in ur website 🤕
Mastodon or any fediverse app is not there😢

Many would appreciate mastodon there. Consider that as a request please 😀

@EUCommission asking politely for no more addictive algorithms is like asking politely for the tobacco industry to go away. Addiction sells in an unregulated market.

@EUCommission

Thousands of people across the EU are already building exactly this - spaces where people come before algorithms.

You and I are both posting on one right now.

The Commission has shown leadership by joining the people-not-platforms Fediverse. Please consider reflecting that commitment by adding the Mastodon logo to the "Follow Us" section of your public website.

@EUCommission A wonderful wish 🎁. And an achievable one: three days to move to the fediverse and leave behind the social media platforms and their addictive algorithms of the past ⏳. Let’s go! 🚀

@EUCommission Do not promote those algorithms by posting on sites that use them, then... Or at least do not make the posts there as your primary social interaction. In the footer of your website, all the "follow us" links are to sites with such addictive algorithms. Why on Earth do you not promote this Mastodon account, which is on a server run by you? It sounds like a nice wish, but your actions are basically a surrender to the addictive algorithms.

@EUCommission we too, hence we're asking you, dear Commission, not to weaken our privacy and digital rights at the whim of American AI companies.
