@_elena maybe by showing that there is a community here that cares about the #EU?
As for how to reach them, check the EPSO website for a contact form. And if any of you still do have an #X account, post a reply there? Just some suggestions

Also, here's the link to their #Xit post, in case you want to see how much interaction it gets. x.com/EU_Careers/status/202917…

why not on Mastodon?

@wouterkobes
Yeah… you’d have to ask them, but to be honest, outside of the main European commission account, I haven’t seen other smaller institutions performed very well on here. It’s possible they don’t see it as worth it?
But I really don’t speak for EPSO

@wouterkobes A lot seem to have joined in 2022 when Mastodon was a VERY different place. We had to click below a post to see replies from servers other than our own, lol. But I wish at least @euspa would move on the official EU server and start posting space stuff, this is THE network for it. Even though I don't think *engagement* should be the focus of public institutions nor use it as an excuse to create content for anti-EU fash broligarchs, space nerds would get plenty of it here.

@Veza85UE @wouterkobes Perhaps I'm still in the honeymoon phase and this surely is my background in competition law talking, but I keep thinking: how great would it be if this really took off, it would be a boon to a healthy competition in the tech space to have an open standard around which new (incl for profit) initiatives could be developed.

@TimothyRoes @wouterkobes I don't think that can happen as long as *institutions* (individual politicians are hopeless, imo) look for a twitter *substitute*. I don't want the ECDC or ESA or RescEU or CJUE or Copernicus or AEMET or the Spanish government's emergency services to prioritise views and engagement and thus keep the public locked in on platforms owned by people who want to destroy the EU. The fediverse not being like twitter is what I *like* about it.

@Veza85UE @wouterkobes I always thought it was weird for governments to rely structurally on private parties for their communication. At least now it has to be slowly dawning on them that they ought to put their money where their mouth is? I'd say we need serious public investment in things like #LibreOffice, #Matrix, #Nextcloud and of course #Mastodon but failing that, posting here seems very low hanging fruit!

@Veza85UE @wouterkobes Cool!
