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 AI-generated socks for everyone!

@_elena @EUCommission there are very few websites with Mastodon icons. Including #theguardian #commonweal #thenational and government petitions. Wonder why that is..

@_elena @EUCommission that would be such an amazing christmas present. I would be smiling through the entire holiday and start the new year full of hope.

Great call out, on point! I wonder what does @EUCommission has to say to this?

[leanderlindahl@mastodon.social]

@_elena @EUCommission let's get 6800 boosts to celebrate 68 years of @EUCommission (founded 1957).

@_elena @EUCommission thank you yourself. I'm also an "into the void screamer". But we'll get there. We know we're right. And anyone taking the time to listen and consider what we're saying will know it too. That something is hard and takes a long time is not a reason not to do it. Slowly slowly the tide is turning.

@_elena @EUCommission Mastodon is a celebration of European ingenuity, vitality, innovation and resilience. How many other power blocks in the world have their own free, open, federated social media? I count zero.

[westnorthantsgreens@mastodon.social]

@_elena @EUCommission It's the same thing with @thegreenparty@threads.net where they are also @thegreenparty@mastodonapp.uk on Mastodon but have never posted anything. But want to #RejoinEU so should invest in EU platforms like Mastodon.

@_elena @EUCommission I don’t know anyone who uses X anymore. It is such a toxic platform, I am not sure why you would want to be associated with it. EU, be bold and move on.

[kevinkoolio@mastodon.social]

@_elena @EUCommission very well said.

@muminitaly @_elena

We have almost 60 universities in Germany with Mastodon accounts and the logo on their websites, see the great lists of @scammo
👉 https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/
Check the details of that page and you will be directed to nearly 150 research institutes in Germany active an Mastodon, cities and communities etc.. And their numbers of followers is constantly increasing.
Isn't that a great development for the fediverse?
Please, @EUCommission, come on and join this movement. This would help enormously in demonstrating European souvereignity.

@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.
