@davetroy Be like Brazil. Ban X. Musk shut up about it immediately, hasn’t said a word about them since.
Agreed, the ban was short but shifted things to the side of Brazil so they were calling the shots, it proves it can be done
@zleap @gimulnautti @davetroy For now. If all of Europe and everyone else capitulate it will be a lot less possible to make a move like Brazil did.
@crazyeddie @zleap @davetroy Europe needs to funnel tax euros to development and establishment of protocols, to provide a firm ground for homegrown social media startups to grow from.
Unfortunately #eu politicians can't get their head around the fact that social media can look different than Facebook or Xitter.
This is a huge moment. And by investing in open-source backbones & protocols European digital souvereignty could be guaranteed.
But it needs to be built, not falling from US heavens.

I will see if I can contact my local MP and get the lib dems on here, I decretly left a few of my join the fediverse cards in the co-op as there is a community noice board with space at the bottom for cards and small flyers.
Granted these point to fediverse party which is fine, but it raises awareness the fediverse is a thing. If they see the fediverse logo in lots of places, it may have that subliminal effect.
