🚨 BOOST CHALLENGE! 🚨Ok and . If I tell my Canadian Member of Parliament, Gord Johns, that he will get 2000 followers within one week of creating a Mastodon account, will you make that happen?

I want him to be able to say when he stands in the House and presents the petition for an official Fediverse server that he himself is the first Canadian MP to be on the Fediverse!

Boost for yes! I am going to show him this post! I'm counting on you, literally! 🔥 🙏 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 🙏

A gif of the lincoln pointing finger we want you 🫵

And this is not limited to Canadian accounts. As a Member of Parliament of Canada for a major opposition party (he is NDP Critic for Mental Health and Harm Reduction https://www.gordjohns.ca), he participates in international committees and initiatives as well. I want him to know he will be connected to the world just as much as he will be connected to his constiuents and Canadians.

@chris point him at the EU accounts as well. @EC_ECHO , @ELA .

QuadRadical,

@onepict @chris @EC_ECHO @ELA it's a shame the EU accounts are probably shutting down

This is Gord's space on the Bad Place. He has just over 4000 followers and he gets strong engagement, even now. I am sure his engagement on the will be strong too. That is what I want to reassure him of.

And if you haven't already, go sign the petition and share it to your email and other social networks. We are nearing 1000 signatures!

@chris I've been trying to get Nora Young from CBC Spark interested in the fediverse. While I don't actually have a direct contact, I've sent a couple inquiries via their contact form, and now sent another regarding e4769.

Low-key hoping I'll be able to get @evan onto the radio.

@julian that would be amazing. I am a little surprised she hasn't done something on the Fediverse already

@chris No idea, but the idea is ripe for discussion, especially in 2024. Maybe this is the year fedi becomes mainstream!

I just found one article about it on CBC.

@julian @chris
As I recall, Spark did do a piece about Mastodon in 2022.

I can't find it now though...

@chris Judging from the section titles on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gord_Johns#Cycling alone, his people are here. :)

@chris He should also know a public presence on non commercial media it is the right thing to do for a public official, regardless of the initial follow count.

@chris Sure, but I would need a notification about the account bring online so I can follow

@chris hashtags are extremely important here, you should add some, like maybe

And if you just saw this toot because of those tags look at what I'm replying to because I'm pointing at it ^_^
