Alternatives to Big Tech are just about to get a whole lot more support and development.
Firstly, from the recent influx of new users and now directly from EU investment!
No better time than now to make the switch.
The EU already runs its own mastodon server:
https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/
No need for a 3rd party alternative for EU politicians.
Germany also has their own for official accounts: Social.bund.de
There’s not one mastodon instance for EU stuff, but rather they divide it alongside the division of powers. https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/ is only for the European Commission and its related initiatives and officials, while https://curia.social-network.europa.eu/ is for the Court of Justice of the EU.
To my knowledge there’s no official instance for the European Parliament or its members.
