Yesterday I wrote: "Public institutions are funded by taxpayers' money: their communications serve public interests and should be open to all - without the need of creating social media accounts on proprietary, for-profit closed systems. This is especially salient for European governmental communications: isn’t it absurd that they would require social media accounts owned and run by U.S. based companies?"
Credit goes to @samvie for suggesting I add the bit "funded by taxpayers' money"

@Gargron @EUCommission @_elena @aral @haubles @europeanspodcast @samvie @tferrer @rstockm Yes, well argued Elena. We should all use Mastodon in particular and the Fediverse more generally. Especially all Europeans.

@souverain thank you! Yesterday someone volunteered to do it but I haven't heard back since. I'd love to have a French version so that I can go advocate for a Fediverse profile in my neighborhood mairie... and also with whomever wins the Mairie de Paris

@_elena Wow, that would be fantastic! And it's perfect timing because I'm also writing an article in French to help French town halls take a closer look at digital sovereignty through open-source solutions and by sharing examples of people who have successfully implemented these methods in their town halls. I would love to share your article, once it's available in French, by adding a link to it and sharing another experience through your story

@_elena For my part, I conducted a study on political parties and their use of so-called "sovereign" tools, and I took into consideration the use of Mastodon. Here are the results if you're interested:

https://souverain.ovh/benchmark-souverainete-numerique-partis/@souverain super travail, wow !!! I have to admit the results really surprised me (bad surprise, not good). Kudos for the incredible work and let me know if I can ever help out, I 1000% support your mission

@_elena Thank you so much, and I'm following you. I also know you're doing fantastic work to defend this cause, and yes, I'd be happy to exchange ideas and help us organize the resistance as effectively as possible! I think we share common values!

@souverain yes!
️ One quick question about Renaissance: I saw that they had a green checkmark next to social media but I couldn't find any links to profiles outside of Big Tech platforms (looking at their website). LMK if they're here

@_elena Yes, because they've opened a multitude of Mastodon accounts, I imagine to avoid being scammed, but they don't contribute to them. And since my backup criteria considered Bluesky (as a second-tier choice, because we agree it's not the best), well, they do contribute to their account, even though it's clear there's very little interaction https://bsky.app/profile/renaissance-parti.bsky.social

@souverain thank you for the clarification! I couldn't find them on the fediverse, thus my question. On their website they only list links to Big Tech platforms.
Quick Q: are we sure the Bluesky account is legit? 36 followers and language like: "Joli bullshit de l'opposition"
Edit: I guess it's legit, I'm just a little surprised by its language. Call me old school

@_elena On my end, on the Fediverse, I found the following accounts:
@renaissance
@renaissance_78@bird.makeup
@re_thiais
@renaissance@twitter-bridge.cryobyte.net
@renaissance_fde
@renaissance_62
@renaissancehdf
@enmarcherbt@bird.makeup
@ren_arras@bird.makeupAs for bluesky, I agree that 36 followers is truly ridiculous, but I would be dishonest if I said it didn't exist.
And as for "Joli bullshit de l'opposition" don't worry, you're not old school because : "il faut appeler un chat, un chat"
