European Commission has updated its follow buttons.

@hfalcke I wonder if there’s a fix for that, that someone is working on. I remember it being a bit of a pain in the butt the first time I encountered it but I was so happy to be away from #Twitter I didn’t mind.

@Random9 Who's "you"? I don't think she works for any EU institution. Meanwhile, if YOU want the upper chamber of the EU legislative to be on Mastodon, ask your government (I've asked mine, along with the national broadcaster and a few others... Chances are your Minister of Foreign Affairs and my Minister of Transport, both EU "Senators", would tweet via VPN). And if you want to go all the way to the top and have the EU executive on here, ask this guy:

Donald Tusk - The Chancellery of the Prime Minister - Gov.pl website

The Chancellery of the Prime Minister (www.gov.pl)

?

Anyway it's great that mastodon is listed.

@AliceStollmeyer LinkedIn though... it's still a problem because it's microslop's social network

[hfalcke@mastodon.social]

@aetios @AliceStollmeyer I was pointed to their profile on their server and then I clicked follow and then I had to login and it was the wrong server. Maybe I was too dumb, but I guess I may not be a sole exception

[hakona@im.alstadheim.no]

@hfalcke Works for me. It's a two-step process, when you click "Follow" (or "Følg" in Norwegian), you get to input the name of the instance (where your mastodon account is). This is automatically filled in for me, probably since I've done similar before. Hitting a "Go" button brings you to your account, with e.g. the profile of the European Commission displayed, where you may hit "Follow" to actually have the follow action completed.

[cavallo_pazzo@toot.community]

@AliceStollmeyer But on their personal page it's still there and their "x" profiles are still exists. So this is just another scam, feeding, cheating, etc. Disgusting!

@kallekn @AliceStollmeyer

EU Commission has a duty to inform EU citizens without discrimination.

Unfortunately EU people are still using X, it is not banned.

[averageguy101@mastodon.social]

@AliceStollmeyer bluesky is just a mirror of X. As a European (and American) it's disappointing for me to see the EU commission choosing sides of the US puppet show.

It's like positrons and negatrons. It's a similar thing. People are tired of it.
