in reply to European Commission • • •It seems as if you are migrating from #Mastodon towards another platform.
Which #Fediverse option are you considering‽ #WordPress with the #ActivityPub plugin enabled‽
Depending on the host, that would be a less expensive option.

First of all - thanks, for being here
Second - Fediverse is not Mastodon so I'm looking forward to see you at least on Peertube
Third - we are big and we definitely should invest in open tech to replace asshole-owned social networks. And I can imagine Fediverse devs could use a coin or two or helping hand paid by EU

I hope our government figures out they don’t have to rely on private social media companies if they don’t want to.

It would be great if this commitment to decentralized services and open source would also find its way into other areas, especially the office IT of public institutions!

Then stop hiring since some of them are overload!
Your posts are interesting though.

in reply to European 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].

in reply to European Commission • • •I'm glad to hear that!
I must say, though, that I'm having a hard time trying to make this announcement consistent with the one from @EDPS : they mentioned an issue keeping the server and service at the "high standards that EUIs and our users deserve" but you talk about moving somewhere else so I'm kind of wondering how a 3rd party could meet these standards...

in reply to European Commission • • •Going from most important:
1. Closed-registration server in europa.eu domain was a better guarantee of profile authenticity than looking for the green bars in profiles on some random public instances. We're talking about one of the biggest orgs in the world.
2. Theses profiles will be dependent on third-party admins for moderation, accessibility etc.
3. I don't believe every profile will move. I suspect we'll loose some in the process.

in reply to European Commission • • •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.
Be sure there are lot of people out there watching you, handling decentralized open source projects and your response to edps.europa.eu/press-publicati… .

Eine Mastodon-Instanz mit accounts nach dem Schema
@account@commission.europa.eu aufzusetzen (oder halt die vorhandene zu übernehmen ggf. zentralisierter umzubenennen und redirects zu bauen) ist vielleicht anspruchsvoll, aber sicher nicht komplett unmöglich.
Ein Konzept für die Moderation ist evtl. schwieriger und mit Minen versetzt.
Aber das Ganze vor dem 18. zu schaffen? Ich weiss nicht…

Please don't always think in projects with fixed time-span / scope. Topics like these need sustainable funding and people building knowledge maintaining and moderating these solutions. If you skip the usual firms selling IT solutions many levels deep it's mere peanuts in terms of the budget...

Mastodon is a CIA diversion of change. If not, you wouldn't be promoting it.
And it brings almost nothing new, we're still cyber-dominated, censured, fucked.
