Huge respect for the EU Commission, @EUCommission, who have updated their webpage with a new follow button — X is out, Mastodon is in!
Remember to reward them with a follow! ♥️🇪🇺

@randahl we shouted, they listened. Democracy in a nutshell 🥳
@randahl @EUCommission Simultaneously so right and yet so wrong: https://cyberinsider.com/eu-calls-vpns-a-loophole-that-needs-closing-in-age-verification-push/
@randahl
That is really good news! @EUCommission
@randahl @EUCommission great news! Now I'm hoping that also Swedish politicians will start to follow #svpol #eupol
@randahl @EUCommission Thanks for that. Now following
Though the step is commendable, I will not follow the EU to support this one step.
@randahl @EUCommission Hi, when sharing your post on Telegram, the beginning of the Mastodon post is too long, and the punchline is cut in half at "X is out--" , the real message "Mastodon is in" is only visible after clicking the link.
@randahl @EUCommission finally some good news. when big institutions actually put the mastodon link front and center it sends a signal to everyone else watching
@randahl @EUCommission I can’t believe how happy I am to see this!!
Already following.
Ummm... no. That's wishful thinking.
The "Press Corner" page still sticks with the established world order of icons, and the EU commission hasn't stopped at all posting on #X.
In fact, they keep posting much more on X than on the Fediverse / Mastodon.

@randahl @EUCommission Feels like big news. Thanks for letting us know.
@randahl If someone needs alt text, I'm not a good writer, but that's just a screenshot of the website with an arrow pointing to the new follow button.
@qgustavor Thank you for reminding me. I have updated the post.
@randahl My client reminded me. It defaults to warning if I try boosting something without alt text.
