@EUCommission so what's the deal with the new European W social platform? Why not use Mastodon that's already there and used?
@punissuer @EUCommission W is owned by a Swedish company, nothing to do with the EU as such.

@EUCommission If you think that the Fediverse is so good, why aren't you taking more steps to embrace it?

@EUCommission For the European Commission, such toots are like a thermometer stuck up the European's bum.
I hope they listen.

@bagigio @EUCommission lazy hypocrisy in Europe
@humanhorseshoes @bagigio @EUCommission they cannot even stop using X https://leavex.eu/politicians

@ikuturso @EUCommission actually they did https://www.heise.de/en/news/Mastodon-Laut-Finanzamt-nicht-mehr-gemeinnuetzig-9701352.html
this is not about being bound (or not) by german law, they obviously are in regard to german users, this is about having to pay taxes like a for-profit company without transparent rationale.
@DJGummikuh @ikuturso @EUCommission So the German tax office is pushing Mastodon towards the US? Stupid action.

@fenixmaster @ikuturso @EUCommission yeah tax office, not ministry of finance, you're right. Pretty much, yeah. Though as said, they are basically bound to follow the laws, which have often been historically skewed towards large corporations in germany

the w platform is not a european govt initiative
what happened is the private entities and personalities behind it positioned it that way and people bought into their lies
sleazy
so don't worry about it, and don't believe the hype

@EUCommission Please take heart that the criticism here is meant well for the benefit of all of us and you’re doing a relatively fine job compared to all the other entities worldwide.
Please take action to stop Chat Control and protect our digital rights and that not of corporations. Take steps to leave corporate social media platforms in a concerted way. This to have a bigger impact spreading awareness to EU citizens to do the same and sending a strong signal that we do not accept platforms that spread disinformation, CSAM, discrimination, fascism, all that with or without coordination from foreign adversaries. -

@fenixmaster @DJGummikuh @EUCommission Not really. The US thing was independent of the loss of non-profit status.
Looking into it, the gGmbH continues to function but the current plan going forward is to form a Belgian AISBL, more about it here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/the-future-is-ours-to-build-together/

@ElBeeToots @bagigio @EUCommission I'm not a troll just a very pissed off European whose data is routinely sent to the US. Apologies for actually expecting the EU to actually do what they preach.
