I dunno, *can* we build #European alternatives to #Facebook and co?
The #EU community managers are at it again with promoting the EU instance on #Mastodon!

PS: the community management team (that's my team) are up for an award. Any chance you'd give us a vote? Project 32 on this link: enonet.eu/survey/index.php/227…

A screenshot from Threads that reads: Can Europe build its own "Facebook" or "instagram" or "whatsapp"? With the following response from the EU Commission: We are supportive of European alternatives! For instance, we have a very successful presence on Mastodon, where we have our own server. You can follow us there: ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCo

Another upvote for your team's efforts then. It is delightful to see how EU presence is expanding on the fediverse since EUVoice and EUVideo and 3-day workshop ActivityPub for Administrations by SocialHub.

Aaaaand did you see this sentence in the EU open source strategy published yesterday?
Link: digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/…

Strengthen the open source social media space76 by supporting open and decentralised social media solutions and platforms. The Commission currently runs a Mastodon instance, which hosts the Commission’s presence and plans to extend the users basis to EU institutions
