An example of "wasting EU money" on fediverse development would be useful.

How can switching to social media that are less privacy invasive, less manipulative be "worse".

NB: It is obviously true that the public sector can waste money. Everybody has their favorite examples. This is not the time and topic to debate how to fix the public sector.

It wouldn't be useful because people wouldn't switch. It would be a lot of money spent on the development of a subpar software that nobody would use.

why don't you try, say mastodon, just for fun. its perfectly usable even though it has been built using many orders of magnitude less resources than these walled gardens

I don't see why I should try mastodon when twitter has way more users and the same moderation policies.

each mastodon instance has different moderation policies. you can setup you own instance and experiment.

you are free not change your mind about social media but please stop throwing around inaccuracies
