😡 @EDPS is giving up on its @Mastodon and @peertube experiment because it couldn’t find an EU agency to continue operating it.
I hope @EU_Commission can find a new home for it before May 18th as the executive body.
EDPS decentralised social media pilot: the end of a successful story
Two years ago, the EDPS embarked on a pioneering journey to launch two social media platforms, EU Voice and EU Video. The pilot project has proved successful in delivering alternative, privacy-friendly and user-focused social media platforms.European Data Protection Supervisor

Was the experiment really “a successful story” when the outcome was learning no EU agency cared about digital sovereignty enough to lead by example?
GDPR and DSA are great for changing the status quo of social networks.
But to build a better future, governments must fund, support, and use the alternatives.

But it's also proved they don't want to.
