Oh 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
@_elena @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Is this the same EU that's desperately trying to push Chat Control and now wants to ban VPNs?

@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.
@rozeboosje that would be AMAZING! ✨ @muminitaly @EUCommission

@magdalena_nik I wonder too! I have been contacting them about this very issue for 1 1/2 years now (via email too) and never got any answer

I could understand if they kept the account just to keep the handle from being misused.
But simply not using it anymore.This is the reason I still have an account, assuming they haven’t removed it already after years not logging in.

@Tijgertje1987 that's really smart and the way to go...
I deleted my 3 Twitter (X sigh) accounts last year (they'd been inactive since fElon took over) and within 1-2 weeks all my usernames were grabbed... thankfully one violated the terms and has been permanently banned... I don't dare look at my personal one that I had for 14 years

@_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. #LeaveX

@_elena @EUCommission I never understood why there are algorithms in social media at all. Why don’t I simply see the posts of people I follow in a chronological order. That makes the perfect social media tool

@leanderlindahl
https://commission.europa.eu/get-involved/social-media-connect-european-commission_enCompare 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.

@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/

Or perhaps even better, use the EU petition tool. https://commission.europa.eu/get-involved/engage-eu-policymaking/petition-eu_en
