Following the example of the German government and the European Commission, the government of the Netherlands is now running their own Mastodon server! No middlemen between them and their constituents! Welcome @minbzk!

@Gargron @minbzk

It's great, but now all PR departments like weather service, municipalities etc. need to set up shop for their (critical) public service announcements.

Edit: and move off private sector data hoarder apps.

I have to wonder, how do you feel about such prolific institutions using your software in an official capacity?

Is it more pride or anxiety? I feel like I'd trend towards the latter.

@Gargron @minbzk Meanwhile the UK government are still deciding which of their mates to bung a few billion £s to to provide a server.
Which will probably never get delivered.

@Gargron @minbzk you want to say that the servers are controlled by the state?

TheLewisScott,

@Gargron @minbzk definitely needs to become the norm, whether via Mastadon or some other means.

But do they engage? @EU_Commission is write-only.

@Gargron @minbzk we could certainly use more democracy in Nova Scotia and Canada. How does this work?

@Gargron Oooh, does Mark Rutte have an account? I'd like to ask a question or twenty.

@Gargron @minbzk 其实,各个独立主体,对于大牌平台,至少,应该有类似民主世界对极权中国的策略——“不脱钩,去风险。”
这是极权中国的咎由自取——当它试图将国内民众规训为“受虐狂”,并妄图称霸全球的时候。
‘’庆父不死,鲁难未已‘’,这才是受虐狂之外的清醒者面对极权应有的态度。

@Gargron
It is not government in Germany.
See here
https://social.bund.de/about
"Der Bundesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit (BfDI) betreibt diese Mastodon-Instanz für Zwecke der eigenen Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit."

@bfdi is independent.
