I just visited the website of the European Data Protection Supervisor @EDPS and noticed that they have a @Mastodon icon / link in their social media navigation bar in the upper right side of the screen.

Wow indeed a great resource. And based on #WikiData, I like that a lot.
I add on a regular basis Mastodon addresses to WikData resources.
The power of #LinkedData.
@janvlug Beautiful! Then you are unknowingly helping this project too!

@hikingdude cool indeed
Franz I know you're in Bavaria... what is the official website of your region? I want to start contacting public institutions to get them on the fediverse...@_elena
Puh good question, there are quite some:
Administration / Government in levels of regional granularity:
https://www.bayern.de
https://www.oberbayern.de
https://www.bad-toelz.deTourism:
https://tourismus.bayern/
https://erlebe.bayernAll of them have SOME sharing icons - none of them in the fediverse.

@_elena would be lovely. How do you approach them? I thougt, simply mailing them might not be so successful?

@hikingdude I'm thinking of building a splash page with an explanation (the why) plus resources to get started (how)

@hikingdude you weren't joking about the Big Tech links, wow. Which is too bad because bayern.de has the most accessible website I have ever seen with a top navbar showing "easy language" "sign language" and "read out the page". Like they're making incredible efforts at accessibility but are still stuck on Big Tech platforms, sigh. I will definitely reach out to them

This is simply AMAZING!!!
Thank you so much for being here on the #fediverse and for raising awareness about it with your website visitors
️@EUCommission can you please be next? I argued for this in my latest article: https://blog.elenarossini.com/openness-transparency-and-reach-three-reasons-why-public-institutions-should-embrace-the-fediverse/

@_elena @EDPS @Mastodon @EUCommission this is so good! I'm so glad to see institutions deciding to push the Fediverse on their websites

@_elena yes indeed. Fediverse/Mastodon still has not too much PR - (and/or is often explained too technical in my point of view).
But would be awesome if you reach out to them. We all should do that more often ...

@_elena @EDPS @Mastodon @EUCommission did @hpod16 make that happen?

@dunklecat I've been doing a deep dive into the 7 official European institutions to see how many have fediverse icons in their social media navbars. Not looking good... it may be my next article, le sigh.
A special award goes to the European Central Bank, which has links to all the usual offenders PLUS SoundCloud... but no Fedi profile
@_elena thank you for your amazing work. Thanks to you I discovered yunohost, and I always enjoy reading one of your pieces!

@dunklecat thank you! 🥰 I’m currently working on my next YunoHost post about maintenance (not the most glamourous topic, but needs to be done)

@dploeger @_elena @EDPS @Mastodon @EUCommission
Nope

The European data protection supervisor is a different institution.
I have no news for the Commission yet
