I agree. We should just stop using them. If all official accounts within the EU move to Mastodon, journalists and people will follow. Additionally, that supports the EU economy.
Bluesky is like X. Owned by american venture capitalists. EU needs something for official communication that’s neither under US nor under commercial control.
Oh there’s a large number of people who can’t be arsed to move or who claim “i have to use it for my business”, “I have it but I don’t use it” and like that.
I’m in that second category. But I count for nothing as I never open it (I haven’t in probably 10 years, certainly never opened X, only Twitter) so those people don’t really matter.
If you have decent things to say, your audience will follow you (or you build a new audience). Look at us, we’re all probably ex-redditors and we’re now all on here. Platform changing is possible.

Idiots can stay on X. Enjoy.
Haven’t many moved to Bluesky already? X is for Muskstans i.e. losers and bigots only these days.

Ah fair enough. Yes then, a non-US version would be good. I never use any of them personally.
Like a european mastodon instance?
