In my opinion, every government, public entity, association, foundation, etc., that needs to communicate with the public should have its own communication channel, with full control over its data and the messages it delivers. When I read “my Discord server,” I feel like responding “there’s nothing ‘yours’ about it - tomorrow morning they could shut everything down, and you would have lost EVERYTHING.”. Own your data!
Sometimes, I read that instances are not opened because of “costs not balanced by the number of users.” But even public television channels are often economically unprofitable, yet they are considered an essential service for public communication. Open, decentralized technologies that ensure control over one’s data should be treated the same way.

@stefano@bsd.cafe (always upset when I see the number of official accounts on X, be it from gouv or people I follow, and who I consider as good persons. Why use shitty social media to communicate?). Ok : number of potential followers, and the historic media almost always relaying infos from X, never from mastodon or other fediverse components. We just don’t exist for the general public. Are we a cult or something? Yep we must be Freemasons or Illuminati of some kind, that’s the only way to explain this…
@EnigmaRotor@bsd.cafe as it's been for the Swiss government, they just look at the "numbers" or "engagement". And we're not so many, comparing to X or other platforms.
Still, I think a public entity (or similar) shouldn't look at the numbers but at the service and its peculiarities.@stefano@bsd.cafe sure, as it was the case with energy providers, postal service, health services and so on. For some unknown reason (💰💰💰) and civilizational changes (“I, I, and I”), it seems like the focus is placed on other buzzword themes. (AI Ai Ai Ai Ai AI).
