Do you think an European Citizens' Initiative to ban Twitter in the EU would be beneficial and have a possibility of being successful?

I'm sorry if this is not a good community for this question. If not please point me to one.

If the ban brings a new alternative in place, then yes. I'm not from the EU or the USA, but I'm used to Mastodon and Lemmy. I don't mind non-american alternatives. The EU should have its own competitive social media for the rest of the world.

this has been done in a few countries but running a government mastodon instance and giving departments and official accounts profiles… i kinda love that, but wish mastodon supported domains like bsky does

id love to have like education@gov.au, treasury@gov.au, etc but afaik the way mastodon works is you need to devote an entire domain to it, so they’d have to be like treasury@social.gov.au, which is kinda verbose :(

True. That's unfortunate, i feel that.
