Things must be hard if the EU can’t keep a single Mastodon server up.

    Thanks, since the page didn’t mention where they had gone to I assumed they were just gone.

    Gotta say though, not a fan on using subdomains. It would have been better to have everything under social-network.europa.eu (which I just tried and doesn’t have a web page). It’s not like there’s a limit on number of profiles per instance.

      It kinda makes sense when you know the EU.

      All official sites of the EU are under europa.eu. That’s just a rule.

      Then there’s the social network. But they are completely different branches - you wouldn’t necessarily want the Court on the same exact site as the Commission, because even though they are both part of the EU, they are completely different branches. Keeping the Commission (EC) separate from the Court (curia) makes a lot of sense from a Montesquieuan understanding of the state.

      If the US institutions joined Mastodon, we probably wouldn’t want the Supreme Court, POTUS, and Senate to all be on the same instance, because who would be trusted to run it?

      That said, it would be nice if social-network.europa.eu provided a landing page linking all the official profiles of EU institutions.
