    I don’t think the people still on X are going to be listening to the EU disease agency account.

    They should (as you say) go where the people are… Which is threads and BlueSky. Follow the crowd.

      No, they should be where no entity outside of European jurisdiction can influence their messaging.

      The EU commission has their own Mastodon instance. That’s how all public services should do it.

        I wonder how long until Xitter does this sort of thing to the EU Disease Information account:

        Community Note:

        Covid 19 is not real.

        I feel like that level of misinformation is now possible there.

          This makes me want to invoke the remind me bot, but I don’t think we have one on Lemmy. I wager that we’ll see this exact statememt from fridge-chest when the US gets hit with the next wave of 'rona.
