I get the sense that lots of people on #xitter feel like it was the first real public forum. where you could engage with public officials and journalists and subject matter experts. there was no algo. it was pure and important. they want that but don't trust that anywhere else can provide it. so they stay. not realizing that we are that done even better. or really could be if they all showed up. so I still think we will win cause the demand is there but it's damn frustrating. #SocialWeb
There, I said it. And now I'll probably pay for it.
Because there are boundaries around how we can talk about #Oct7. You can support the #Palestinians: yes. But showing any sympathy at all for Hamas, is beyond the pale — you'll get doxxed, cancelled, vilified as an antisemite and worse..."
glad you're here on the #SocialWeb. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. journalists should be clamoring for the level of independence it allows their writing to go viral, right? do you think the smaller audience is the main reason more writers are not here? thanks.
On a night like tonight, how utterly stupid is it that governments and news organizations don't have their own #mastodon and #peertube servers. Instead they let tech mega corps and even cable companies stand between them and an informed public. Fucking ridiculous. #SocialWeb#Iran
You are getting your news from somewhere. Why you wouldn't want that place to allow you to pick a wide variety of the smartest journalists, without the influence of ads or a corporate/billionaire controlled algorithm, I don't understand. That's our potential here. #SocialWeb
Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.
We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.
Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.
This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!
Delightful 💕 to see that #EuropeanCommission now has an official #Mastodon instance. #EC loves Mastodon, as the image clearly shows.
I hope this love will expand further to not just extend to one #FreeSoftware microblogging application, but to become a full embrace of the #OpenStandards based decentralized #SocialNetworking environment and #SocialWeb technology ecosystems that have formed around its open protocols, such as #ActivityPub.
