Let's hope more follow and even better go to Mastodon instead. Each government should own and operate instances for their official communication instead of relying on a private company
Governments using mastodon just make perfect sense to me.
It really does. They should run their own instance and only govt employees can have accounts on them but the rest of us could i teract.
We did: https://social.overheid.nl/about (Dutch)
That's so cool!
Unfortunately as of the elections last month now our government will itself be an extreme-right cesspool. They will actually belong on Twitter :'(
Totally with you. I need for this to happen faster. I hate that every bit of “news” in the AI LLM space is currently posted on X/twitter. I want to keep up and I’m forced to have a dummy account just to read peoples posts and get the link to the GitHub. I’m just one of those people that doesn’t understand why most people haven’t switched or at the very least post on multiple platforms to reach a wider audience.
