@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?

Good move. Done. -
@_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
@leanderlindahl @_elena @EUCommission and a little idea for the bio in X: "updates and full bio at @user@server"

@iusondemand yes! 🙌
I deleted all my Twitter (RIP) accounts and deactivated all my Big Tech social accounts a while back but added a similar bio to Bluesky…
