to note : a bridge is not a working strategy to here as not every instance of fediverse is willing to have to deal with the BS network moderation (accepting extreme right / fash government) and potential privacy issues (like block lists f.ex.)

@DIGITALSME @philipkristians

@everton137 It may not have been said, but we (Mastodon) are also actively meeting with organisations. Next week we have meetings planned with the EU commission and I will represent Mastodon at a panel in the EU parliament organised by the Greens.

Maybe we need to communicate more about it, but we definitely have far less comms/marketing resources than others.

And for Philip:

- In what ways can European or decentralised platforms help public institutions, particularly elected officials, leave dominant harmful networks like X without losing their reach?

I was also interested to discover @quodari. However, I have to say it didn’t convince me, mainly because I understood that it does not rely on any interoperability protocol.

The answers to my three questions were not fully complete, nor did they include concrete numbers. Still, it was useful to understand how these initiatives are evolving, and how important it is to have the resources to engage regularly in Brussels.

The organisers will publish the full video recordings soon:
