Openness, transparency and reach: three reasons why public institutions should embrace the Fediverse

blog.elenarossini.com/openness-transparency-and-reach-three-reasons-why-public-institutions-should-embrace-the-fediverse

In 2026, European public institutions and politicians continue to use X (formerly Twitter) for communications, despite its biases and issues with non-consensual content. The author argues for a shift to Mastodon and the Fediverse, highlighting their advantages of openness, user agency, and reach. Unlike Big Tech platforms, Mastodon offers open access to public posts via RSS feeds and prioritizes user control with a chronological feed, avoiding the manipulative algorithms of other platforms.

The Fediverse, with its chronological feeds and user agency, offers a more transparent and engaging alternative to algorithm-driven platforms like Bluesky. European politicians and institutions should consider adopting a “ 1” communication strategy, utilizing both Big Tech platforms and the Fediverse, to reach a wider audience and foster open dialogue. Public funding for open European social networks is crucial to ensure the development of a free and interoperable social media landscape.
