Really, #Europarlement, I see nine social media buttons at the bottom of your site at:
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/portal/en
All to non public values driven, #privacy disrespecting #socialmedia platforms.
How is it possible that there is no #Mastodon button? Mastodon the only truly decentralized, public value driven, #opensource and independent social media platform.
How wil the #EU reach #DigitalSovereignty and #StrategicAutonomy when its #parlement gives such a bad example.
Practice what you preach!
@janvlug I too look forward to all such similar non-US gov't bodies gaining trust in #mastodon, strongly favoring it over US platforms like X, Bluesky, etc.
I'm a #Canadian, and want to see more Canadian gov't agencies spreading their wings on Mastodon. Or other such #OpenSource, federated services, after *thoroughly testing it for the suitability* to their needs: eg. #XMPP, #DeltaChat, and #Matrix.
I myself will probably install my own Mastodon server some day, however when I look at all the possible servers today (ruby-based Mastodon, Misskey, etc), I'm not too happy with the *packaging* of the software. Where are the #Debian packages for all these servers? I'm hoping that eventually #gotosocial will do more for their software packaging - that one seems the most appealing. I have a need that the maintenance must be made easier and reliable for the sysadmins/devops administering it at the server level, *with easy security updates*.
I haven't looked into hosting Mastodon (and have no plans to do so.) But if I were, the first thing I'd look for would be Mastodon in a Docker (or similar) container. It's easier to get current updates and you can even automate that with Watchtower (though I haven;t tried that either.) My containers are all strictly local so I don't need to worry as much about security updates and update occasionally for features.
#Debian fan here, BTW.
