This is a side issue, but when there's a conversation between a human and a media team of humans, it's interesting to at least get some feeling for who might be "hiding" in the team. In the case of @EU_Commission my guess is the people here tagged 'social media':
are the team behind the @. The profile itself says nothing specific about who manages the messages, how their content is decided (e.g. on an internal wiki, on a cryptpad, or on a git repository).
@boud Many of us don't know who many of the various Mastodon admins are. So... With institutional organizations, social media posts are generally approved by a committee.
You should do a press release immediately to not shutdown the servers, as posted by @EDPS in may and furthermore you should commit to a long time financing the servers, also after the elections. Otherwise all will think you post a commitment now and forget about it after the election.
@EU_Commission FTR - an account on threads.net is NOT a solution, IMHO. The better solution is to use a minimal part of the money you spend on blockchain projects to keep the instance you are on alive. ;)
@EU_Commission Better than identity portability would be finding a way to keep your current server operating for you and all the other official EU accounts using it.
I hope that the final setup will be a server run by one of the EU institutions, with accounts for all the different bodies and - why not - staff of the EU organs.
@EU_Commission Please clarify that by "Fediverse" your team means the Fediverse itself and that you do not mean Meta/FB's "Threads".
It is unacceptable for the EU Commission to provide support for Meta/FB's role in hate speech [1] [2], its role in the #RohingyaGenocide [3][4] and its role in the #TigrayGenocide [5][6].
@EU_Commission How does your announcement connect with these articles about EU institutions run by the European Date Protection Supervisor to be shut down in May?
It seems to indicate that the commission will take over. Which makes sense - the project ends with a huge success, so the EU institutions should naturally want to continue the good development.
