Wandering Adventure Party

@hennavirkkunen I think you should invite @_elena to give you a run down on Masto and the Fediverse. She's our ambassador (not officially, but in my mind).

You can also ask @pallenberg for insights and advice.

And @carl for the "scientist's" and psychological defence experts point of view.

@janwlrvn @ilumium @hennavirkkunen @EUCommission my guess is she's testing it out a bit. And .social is where you wind up if you try it out as a regular user without the IT folks involved.

The article says "only this evening did she register an account"

@janwlrvn @ilumium @hennavirkkunen
"Die für die digitale Unabhängigkeit der EU zuständige Vizepräsidentin, Henna Virkkunen, eröffnete dort erst am Abend erstmals ein offizielles Benutzerkonto, wie die EU-Kommission der dpa mitteilte. 

Virkkunen habe beschlossen, ihre Präsenz in den sozialen Medien zu diversifizieren und europäische Unternehmen zu fördern, sagte ein Sprecher der Kommission."

Streit mit Musks Plattform: Trotz Kritik an X: EU-Spitzenvertreter nicht bei Mastodon

Von der Leyen & Co. kritisieren X scharf, posten auf Elon Musks Plattform aber weiterhin politische Botschaften - nicht hingegen bei der deutschen Konkurrenz Mastodon. Eine Kommissarin ändert das nun.

@hennavirkkunen Hello Henna! Glad to see you here on Masto! Welcome.

@mattburgess
welcome (back)

@clemens @mattburgess I was almost about to comment on Signal from Mountain View, California too

I find Delta is a solid choice and easy to get started with for non techies (my family). Element (Matrix) is probably the most popular feature rich choice, but a bit more fiddly to set up and more like Slack and Mattermost...

But I'd like to know why no one ever mentions Olvid and Ginlo in the "buyeuropean" lineups. And I'd like to know why they and Threema haven't seized the moment...

Is there any fediverse software to create groups that are findable for anyone, but can only be read by members? I have a bunch of use cases where I'd like to try and offer an alternative to FB groups, which has become the staple go to solution here in Sweden even among people who intuitively dislike FB. #fediverse
