@bike4climate @taxalot @carl @EUCommission @HennaVirkkunen Yes, it's the fediverse and Masto that I alluded to

RE: Imagine how powerful it would be if von der Leyen, Costa and Kallas made their statements first on a EUROPEAN open, free, non-algorithmically distorted social media network.
@rhj @MarkusKallifatides that's great to hear. We just have to keep on making the argument for this, until we win. The marketing people who have the say in these matters, still get to serve their imagined audience this way, so they can't use that old tired argument of why we shouldn't do the right thing for our societies and democracies.
If you're in a position of leadership this is a perfect opportunity to lead and show the way. Our representatives aren't put there to follow the herd passively

@AliceStollmeyer I must admit I was hoping you'd boost the post I referred to and put your weight behind it Mrs Stollmeyer 🙂 🇪🇺. It implies VDL having her own
Masto account (her coms team having it).Who knows... maybe they read it at the Directorate Generale for Communication. 👓 📰

👍 🇪🇺 ✌️I had a similar thought here "post first on open free European social, then with a delay on US closed social"

Imagine how powerful it would be if von der Leyen, Costa and Kallas made their statements first on a EUROPEAN open, free, non-algorithmically distorted social media network. 🇪🇺✌️
And then later with a 60 minute delay on the account-registration-requiring, data-collecting, algorithmically-distorted US networks?

RE: You feed the monster.
Jonathan told me how there are things you have to do, even if they are dangerous. "Why is that?" I asked. "Because if you don't you're not a human being, you're nothing but a little louse," Jonathan replied.

RE: You feed the monster.
Or you are nothing but a little louse to quote Jonathan Lionheart.
It's actually "you're not a human, you're nothing but a little *shit*" in the Swedish original.

RE: You feed the monster.
I believe in the common sense of my fellow citizen, less in that of those feasting around the table of the lobbyists or seeking to stroke their vain egos.
Every normal person can see the cause and effect of feeding the monster.
"We need to be there to reach out, to be seen, or we're not going to be part of the conversation"
No you don't. You need to stop feeding the monster is what you need to do.

You feed the monster.
You feed the monster. Monster gains strength. You cut off the supply of food, oxygen, water. Monster grows weak, withers and dies.
Now tell me again how do we handle rogue far right media outlets governed by megalomaniacs?
Why does supplying content, engagement and revenue to them equal furthering their cause and strengthening them? I want the public to know who the actors are that feed the monster. I want the public to know when they cast their votes.

When Blaise Metreweli, the newly appointed Chief of MI6, addressed the nation in her inaugural speech, she did not simply outline the threats of espionage or cyberwarfare.
When Blaise Metreweli, the newly appointed Chief of MI6, addressed the nation in her inaugural speech, she did not simply outline the threats of espionage or cyberwarfare. Instead, she mapped a new, unsettling terrain—one where the gravitational center of global power is shifting away from nation-states and toward the sprawling dominions of technology corporations and the individuals who helm them.
