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
So leaving X for it is like jumping from the fire back into the frying pan...
It's corporate owned, yes, but there are levels of shithole-ness. We should celebrate small victories against fascism.
I could understand using it as a messaging system before Elon owned it when you could look at it without an account.
Great!
Sigh ...
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.
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
Why anyone is there at all is beyond me
Good choice.
