Dutch government announces that they'll make Mastodon available to all layers of the entire Dutch government, as a shared service of the government, starting in 2025!

The Mastodon pilot of the government celebrates their 1-year anniversary today, and as part of the evaluation they stated the Mastodon pilot "strengthens digital autonomy and [creates] a safe and reliable information supply".

Announcement (in Dutch): digitaleoverheid.nl/nieuws/1-j

extra fun fact: the announcement post made by the government is natively available in the fediverse via their Wordpress ActivityPub connection!

Wow, ausgerechnet in den Niederlanden hätte ich nun nicht mehr damit gerechnet.
Schön, dass es dort nun so kommt 🎉

"Safe and reliable information source" is a sentence I wouldn't have expected from a far right gov.

We will see how that is going to work with the current fascist and far right "Overheid" (government) 😕.

And that is a great idea! Social media do not belong in the hands of big tech. We have seen where it went with facebook and twitter. Never should that happen again. Open source, regulated and available to everyone! That is the path forward.

@fediversereport Hopefully the twitter politicians will be forced to cross post on mastodon :)

➕ is that we as Dutch Mastodon users can yell at the government (government).

➖ is that the new Dutch government consists of one big fascist political 'party' (#PVV), a smaller agro-fascist party (#BBB), and two parties collaborating with fascists (#NSC and #VVD). Hopefully this government will not reach 2025.

I fully expect only civil servants to post here via their organization's account though. We'll see.

@Fediverse Report Not bad, although i wonder how they'd guarantee #privacy to their employees conversations, when DM on Mastodon can be read by the respective server admin.
Big flaw, and might turn out to be #unlawful at last.

@fediversereport really wish this could happen in the USA... One of the main reasons I have to go to xitter is for the National Weather Service for my area...

@fediversereport The current government in the Netherlands is a coalition of right-extremist parties, just saying.
That alone might be enough to block them in some parts of sane fedi instead of partying hard for their joining.

@frumble @fediversereport Kann sein. Hierzu ist besonders der vorletzte Absatz recht interessant:
"Ziel ist es, die Mastodon-Regierung allen Regierungsorganisationen (und allen Regierungsebenen) als gemeinsame Regierungsbestimmung ab 2025 anzubieten. Es trägt zur Verringerung der Verbreitung von Desinformation und zum Rückgang der Abhängigkeit von kommerziellen Social-Media-Plattformen bei."
Der fromme Wunsch kann erfüllt werden im Fediverse/Mastodon 😇
