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!
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.
@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
It is not government in Germany.
