Hi Fediverse!👋 We're Volt Europa, a pan-European political party building a federal, green, and progressive Europe. 🇪🇺

We believe in digital sovereignty, transparency, and putting people before platforms. Sound familiar? That's precisely why we're here.

We're not just looking for another channel to broadcast on. We chose this space because it reflects what we stand for: open, decentralised, and community-driven. We want to be part of this, not just present on it.

Now, let's be honest. We know what it looks like when organisations show up, cross-post for two weeks, and disappear. We don't want to be that. But we're a small team with limited resources, so we need this to work both ways.

Engage with us. Challenge us. Tell us what you want to see from a European political party in this space. Help us make this worth it, for all of us.

This is the start of a conversation, not a campaign. Let's talk. 💜

@VoltEuropa @iaruffell Yeah, there are Greens whose top MEPs invite antivaxer charlatan supreme Andrew Wakefield to the European Parliament and write blog posts comparing Covid vaccines to Dr. Mengele's experiments (he's been since elected back to where he belongs in his country, but still... a Green MEP during the pandemic) and Greens who are sane about vaccines. And Greens who are sane in their support for Ukraine and others who invite Varoufakis to their events, so structurally 🇪🇺 sounds good.

@VoltEuropa

Thanks for the response, and I see the distinction you are trying to draw. I would disagree about the lack of a common platform or shared philosophy, but there is no denying some vigorous discussions and some disagreements. Greens aren't against innovation, but it depends what you really mean by that. There is scepticism about growth as currently measured and about the ability of unconstrained business intrests to tackle the climate and energy crises, certainly
