>Each country should control official channels of communication.

I don't want to create 100 accounts to access each countries totally unique and special websites. It's a bad system and ultimately will lead to less discourse and not more.



Forgive me if I'm mistaken, I've never used mastodon, but I expect part of the "federated" bit means being able to "follow" users from other Mastodon instances, including EU Voice. So you'd need just one account on a Mastodon instances to follow every EU government/institution announcements on EU Voice. If not on Mastodon, RSS feeds still exist.


It's completely correct. You can follow say @EU_Commission@social.network.europa.eu from an account on say mastodon.nz.

However, unless you are a resident of 100 countries, it's probably not particularly essential that you do so, is it? I mean, I can imagine my being interested in the official channels of communication for governments of countries in which I am not a resident, but I cannot imagine why they should care to make it particularly easy for me to access those communications. It seems that the most that I should be able to ask is easy read-only access without having to sign up for a special account.


Jes, kaj estas tre malfacila kie homoj diras kun lingvoj ce mi ne komprenas.

Do, ĉiuj homoj devas paroli Esperanton.

;)


Mi ne ĝenus, se ĉiuj scius Esperanton. :d
