The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is considering leaving Elon Musk’s X due to its role in spreading misinformation, ECDC Director Pamela Rendi-Wagner said at POLITICO’s Health Care Summit.

Another option is to leverage the use of bridges, for example there’s Bridgy Fed that allows you to have a presence on both Bluesky and or Mastodon from a single account on either platform.
(JK but I don’t think there’s an open version of this.)
A proper government run mastodon instance and bridges to blue sky seems a good option.
Mastodon on the government domain and a proper naming convention for blue sky accounts and an agreement they will limit the use of the naming convention to official accounts. Amsterdam-gov-nl paris-gov-fr eucdc-gov-eu or something.
You can also use your own domain with the bridged Bluesky account
The overt racism and fascism wasn’t enough because it’s europe.
