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"

@_elena And.. Just finished reading it. And what can I say? Thank you for your insights and for sharing them in such an effective and enjoyable tone. Public access to social posts without needing an account is a definitive advantage of the fediverse we need to promote more than ever. And yes, when institutions will start to add the mastodon/pixelfed/... logo along other networks, this will contribute to normalise them and should help attracting more folks here. Hopefully! En avant

@imacrea awww thank you so much for the kind words, I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed my post. Someone volunteered to translate it into French... I'll share the FR version with you once I have it

@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"
