Excited to announce that the @EUCommission has updated it's follow buttons on the website footer!
What's that first platform there? Could that be #Mastodon?
And where did the link to #X go?
All the posts and comments here on Mastodon calling for this, trust me we read them!

Post directly observes and announces Mastodon's presence in the updated footer, corroborated by community engagement.
“The link to X was removed from the footer”
Post notes X link is no longer present, consistent with high social corroboration of the update. Absence of X link in new version supported by engagement.
