There is no reason why in this day and age that municipal, state, provincial, and federal #government cannot stand up their own #fediverse instances that they control to provide their citizens relevant information.

Why should we have to rely on #meta (#facebook and #instagram) or #x (#twitter) #databrokers for publicly funded and public relevant information and communication.
