Why anyone is there at all is beyond me
Great!
invited people to follow it on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube
Sigh …
No government should be on X.
X is just American spyware at this point. Owned by the president!
Switch to Mastodon or Bluesky!
Bluesky is still a corporate owned shithole.
A corporate owned shithole… without elon
I could understand using it as a messaging system before Elon owned it when you could look at it without an account.
Yeah, good move. Now come to Fediverse.
The fediverse sucks for official stuff unless they start their own instance…… which I’m not opposed to.
Yeah, they should start their own instance! The European Commission has one, for example. The French government also has an official one via DINUM. There’s others, I’m sure.
If they make it so only government officials can join the instance, having an account on there could act like verification. You’d be able to trust that every post from there is official and not some impostor spreading misinformation (they could still be spreading misinformation but at least it’d be official government misinformation). Meanwhile I don’t have to make an account on a government website to see the posts and can maintain some privacy. The fediverse rocks!

That’s exactly what they do, actually. Government officials or official government accounts in general.
The fediverse rocks!
It’s awesome :D
German government instance: https://social.bund.de/
It doesn’t have to be Mastodon or a social platform. It could just be a news/blog kinda deal that happens to support ActivityPub and people can subscribe to it to get it on their feeds.
I mean that sounds like RSS
Good choice.
