European Commission has updated its follow buttons. ✅ Mastodon and Bluesky are in; ⛔ X, Facebook, YouTube are out. (Only when you scroll all the way down, FB and YT are still there, but no longer X.) https://commission.europa.eu/index_en

@AliceStollmeyer@eupolicy.social But they still list 453 EU-related X-accounts. https://european-union.europa.eu/contact-eu/social-media-channels_en

@AliceStollmeyer@eupolicy.social That’s cool, but when I click to follow on my mobile, I am passed on to their account on their server to follow, but then I need to log in to my account, which is in a different server and that is not possible (or well hidden).

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

@AliceStollmeyer@eupolicy.social 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!

@AliceStollmeyer@eupolicy.social 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.
