Indeed. One of the Fediverse's strengths is that, like ec.social-network.europa.eu/ any country or coalition could set up an official and hardened server that assures the public of a trusted source of information dissemination.

The time for this is now.

The new paradigm is quality over quantity.

The trustworthy, not corrupted communication is key.

AI, algorithms, aggressive agents make a quality communication impossible.

The future belongs to the brave ones.

Go for Fediverse.

DO IT NOW.

"What's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account"

If Musk does that, it would only accelerate the currently rapid decline in usage and value of a server he paid $44 billion to gain control over.

People/Companies should at least post on multiple platforms.

If you are or know a decider on where to post for press statements, please consider posting on mastodon in addition to where you do now.

Not for your sake, but for ours. Early adopters might get some extra love though, so it might be worth for you as well 😛

What stops Musk from cancelling Ukraine's ability to use Starlink?

Nothing. I expect that will be announced tomorrow at the latest.

"¿Qué puede impedir que Musk, que ya ha intentado interferir en las elecciones alemanas, se apodere de la cuenta X de Zelensky o de cualquier otro líder europeo y publique algo con consecuencias geopolíticas nefastas? Ya hemos superado el punto en el que es sensato que los líderes e instituciones europeos dependan de una presencia en X, y otras plataformas estadounidenses tampoco son una buena solución a largo plazo. Más personas deberían seguir el ejemplo de @EUCommission y proporcionar sus actualizaciones directamente, sin intermediarios, a través del fediverso."

@Gargron @EUCommission

@adventure_tense It's pretty clear now that X and Facebook have migrated into being tools of right wing propaganda. To be using them (as well as Threads), is to be willing to expose oneself to that toxicity and feel it won't harm one's self.

It will.

Nothing.

But to be honest, #Musk can also play stupid games with Ukraine's internet.
@EUCommission @briankrebs

I never understood why democratic institutions or officials publish statements via a platform which is privately owned and in a foreign country instead of publishing a news release on a server they control.

I recommend to write/talk to our official again and again and remind them. For instance with the question: I saw xy statement from you on X, is it fake or can you confirm ?

Thanks @EUCommission for regaining control

tpfkaTwitter is not my big fear from the goofy super-villain.

half of Ukraine *was* relying on the Musk monopoly #Starlink for a while, lets hope they found back-up systems.

It would be good if Mastodon stop using US provider for hosting.

I would think if he did it would be an instant banning of all his companies and hold all funds

The European Commission is on Bluesky too: bsky.app/profile/ec.europa.eu, but hopefully they’ll be able to switch to their own PDS or one based in Europe one day…

Why to stop Musk or anyone in speaking?

Because nobody is skilled to answer him? Realy?

Free speech is the diverence between a freedom or tyrany. Are whe for a tyrany or for freedom?

Humanity know for ages, even since the beginning, misleading speaches. Whe have Sects, Kings, KGB, Mosad, CIA, USAID, NSA and a million other organisations with the most important purpose of misinformation. Freedom survived with al of them. But when speech is forbidden everyone dieds.

Technologically this is pretty easy to accomplish. For example, many (if not most) of the Fediverse-compatible server platforms allow for anonymous browsing of posts. So even now there is no real restriction for people that merely wish to read communications. Replicating those feeds onto a more “classic” website server instance is not that complicated from a coding or server admin standpoint.

So the capability to do that is already there.

that's going to be the point where world politics will hopefully no longer be played out on social media....

On the other hand: there is an expression in German "don't wake sleeping dogs", meaning: don't give them ideas they have maybe not yet had. @EUCommission
