If Mastodon is chronically underfunded, shouldn't we discuss serious public investment in its development, including its usability and design?
Twitter was purchased for $43 billion and is now widely used to amplify disinformation and polarization through hate speech and an extremist agenda.
How much are we willing to invest in a bold, interoperable, European alternative that strengthens democratic discourse?
If projects like “EuroSky” move forward, will public funding be diverted there, instead of supporting and scaling the Fediverse?
Mastodon already exists and has millions of users, official EU servers, and institutional accounts. Why start from scratch when what works can be strengthened?
