@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,

Done, in French btw 🥐🥖

@leanderlindahl @_elena @EUCommission
Done that. :)

Interesting: they have Mastodon and a lot more other alternatives on other pages covered with the "other share options" ... But not consistently. Main landing page just US based stuff. On the page "Have your say" are 20 possibilities shown, Mastodon at place 19, followed by Bluesky.

Why so inconsistent?

Also ... Another topic: wouldn't it be more interesting to have an "activity pub share" button? Would cover all Fediverse.

@leanderlindahl @_elena I submitted this feedback to the @EUCommission "It is surprising and worrying that the European Commission continues promoting US social media corporations like Meta and X right in the footer of its website. What about promoting your own, European social network account at Mastodon, part of the decentralised Fediverse? A move to a healthy, public values based internet, that safegards our digital autonomy and ultimately our sovereignty is urgent and possible."

Compare this to most UK government and media and they're exclusively posting to the toxic silicon valley usual suspects. At least the EU has a broader range.
