I am calling for this, along with 50 other MPs, in a letter to Ursula von der Leyen.
Also: a European initiative on X is urgently needed.
Only then will many users switch.The alternatives Eurosky and Mastodon are a good start, but more support from the European Commission is needed here.
@alexandrageese very good. It is about time we start enforcing our rules in the digital realm too.

@alexandrageese Great, but why are so many European politicians simply ignoring Mastodon? It doesn't take much effort to open an account. I mean, I don't expect them to leave X and Instagram, I understand most of their audience is there. But at least they could post also from here.

@alexandrageese glad to see you here on Mastodon and to see the Mastodon icon on your own website, but your email newsletter still has X icon and no Mastodon icon at the end of it

@emmecola @alexandrageese
They still have a pre-2006 bookmark for social-network.ec.europa.eu.int or they just can't find the current server because the hostname is still too long. -

@alexandrageese I do not trust in Eurosky. But I do trust in the development of the Fediverse. Easy reason: we were ready to do Bonn.blue, and understood then, how dependent on Bluesky we will stay. Or how much money we need to raise. I then prefer a real decentralised network, that is there and everyone can be part of. What I dislike about ATProto: blocking is transparent to everyone. And most users are not even aware until they find out the ugly way.
Don’t forget the Fediverse. -

@alexandrageese It must be shutdown, it’s full of misinformation, full of bots accounts and American propaganda. Please do it now

@emmecola @alexandrageese there's no Marston lobby in Brussels.

@alexandrageese
I really can understand folks, who would say:
„What‘s that picture about? It seems this Social Media platform is broken. I stay at <whatever corporate social media>“
Now, I have learned that it has to do with federating server (or in this case…?) but the „usability“ still annoys me sometimes… -

I have "Medien immer ausblenden" as default, to save mobile bandwidth. (Mostly when scrolling I don't even click on the photo.) I'm not sure that is the default setting for everyone in the beginning.

@alexandrageese
Why not posting some Grok-generated nude pictures of Ursula von der Leyen on X?
This may speed things up dramatically. -

@OfFMuenchen
That‘s not the issue here, as in all other posts above and below, the pictures are displayed.
I think, the „posting server“ and „my server“ are not yet federated. (If I would follow this user, at least the posts from this user will be fetched from my server to display me the full post) -

@alexandrageese it is much simpler.
Log out. Use emails. Use websites. It is not rocket science.

@alexandrageese Danke für Dein anhaltendes Engagement in der Sache. Ein Einwurf: Ich halte das Fediverse und „Eurosky“ nicht für gleichwertig im Bezug auf digitale Souveränität und demokratische Kontrolle. Bluesky ist nicht wirklich dezentral, zu viel Kontrolle verbleibt zentral und die Kosten für (teilweise) unabhängige Instanzen sind sehr hoch. Besser echte Unterstützung für das Fediverse, z.B. Finanzierung von besseren Onboarding-Prozessen etc.

@ulrichkelber @alexandrageese Und vor allem kein W, das ist auch nur BlueSky im neuen Gewand plus Sammelei von Identitätsdaten. Dann schon lieber EuroSky und mit BlackSky kooperieren.

@alexandrageese We already have a European Alternative called Fediverse! It's much more than Mastodon, this decentralized universe has places with potential for alternatives to FB (Friendica), Instagram (Pixelfed), Youtube (Peertube) and more. Perhaps von der Leyen doesn't know that @EUCommission is already here!
Still much support and work needed, but organic grow is better than exploding numbers.
