@EU_Commission I miss you 😢

@EU_Commission
Conversation? I've seen broadcast. Where are the people? Oh, yeah, still at the cesspool.

@EU_Commission Bunch of reptilian worshipers

The possibilities are indeed great, and this emblem is uplifting as is the sentiment. But too often it is acting just for itself, not for its customers.

And right now, I would not buy its stock.

@EU_Commission

@EU_Commission I hate the word diversity but in context of this .. yeah its great

@EU_Commission hey @evan heres another nod to picking lowercase 'fediverse' for your book, as the European Commission has chosen this style as well (:

@EU_Commission

Thank you for choosing mastodon.

@EU_Commission maybe we should talk about your morderous racist policy at the borders?

@EU_Commission Thank you! I appreciate the celebration of diversity and the engaging conversations on Mastodon. I'd love to see more discussions on climate action and social equality. Keep up the great work!

@EU_Commission Diversity is important, I strengthens and never takes away. However diversity is not an internal matter, it needs to be a consideration of post humanism and considering the wealth of perspectives that exist outside the union.

@EU_Commission I think its great you're here! More governments, political organisations and companies should make themselves available on the fediverse so we don't have to enter walled gardens of big tech to hear what they have to say. 🪺

@EU_Commission

If you care so much about the fediverse, you could at least add a link in your website pointing to here.

To show the world that we exist.

Second you can confirm your profile as authentic.

What in the holy name of shitty AI copy is this?

@EU_Commission Your presence on the Fediverse is deeply appreciated! Keep informing us, please. Regarding topics, climate change policies and water management and safety are two of utmost importance to me (and I guess most people). Saludos from Spain.

@EU_Commission I truly appreciate the move and have been following the account since the very beginning. However, the president and many others are still posting on #Twitter first. The #fediverse official accounts should be their starting point for posting. Most of the official accounts do not really engage with anyone here on Mastodon because they are not real people. Their accounts are simply cross-posting from Twitter.

Let me start off by saying that I love your coverage of topics related to this social network such as the Digital Markets or Services Act! I think it hits right home with what people on here are interested in the most and the almost live coverage of specific steps (identifying gatekeepers, having them contacted, explaining the consequences of this law, etc.) made this historic piece of legislation all the more engaging, educational, and made me feel as if I was part of the process!

Through analyzing those great posts and what I've liked about them I have made some suggestions about what I believe would help future coverage of new legislation or the EU overall:

Suggestion 1: Generally keeping people up to date

I think keeping people up to date about important legislation such as that is a great way to get people to understand why the EU exists and the importance of participating in elections.

Suggestion 1.1: Legislation Recaps

When it comes to the supply chain act (CSDDD) or the minimum wage directive I'd love similar updates! Additionally, once legislation passes it'd be nice to have some sort of recap of it, such as “this is when the legislation was originally proposed by this working group or this party” and “These reforms, changes, etc. were made over time during this meeting by this or that party”. Just to generally have the majority of people get an understanding of the EU legislation process, the different institutions involved in it as well as a transparency about what parties do what when elected in government! I could see this being done as a thread where a new post gets added when some important change happens with every user being able to scroll up to see all former posts regarding this topic. Replies to your own posts (Threads) are also regarded the exact same as normal posts, so it will be sent to all your followers and show up on your account feed just like a non-thread post.

I know that's a lot of work, especially it's hard to figure out what legislation will interest most people (as there are hundreds of things voted on each day) but generally that'd be a service I'd enjoy!

Suggestion 2: Interactive Posts

Also maybe interactive posts such as polls would be lovely! If there's a legislation you can ask about people's agreement to that legislation with a small explanation what it was and why it was introduced.

Suggestion 2.1 Polls

For example:

“Do you think the DMA would have a positive or negative impact on your daily life?”

“[Explanation of the DMA/DSA + Link to further reading]”

“Poll Option 1: Positive”

“Poll Option 2: Negative”

...and maybe you can ask “what would you change about this law/the EU/etc.”

Suggestion 2.2 Ask me Anythings

Possibly you can get important EU institutions, parties, figure heads, to do “AMAs” (ask me anything) so for a certain time period they'd try to respond to every question sent to them by people on here!

These are a few suggestions and idea I had to make the fediverse both more attractive, the democratic process more transparent, as well as the EU more engaging for people!

@EU_Commission a union of 27 countries and 450 million people at the service of a small bunch of billionaires, you meant. That's all that remains of the European Union, you no longer represent anything. Sad.
