Gregory's Server@TerryHancock Exactly what I have been thinking. I love that Germany has set up dozens of instances for the regions and large cities but that could totally be expanded to other countries with a large user base.

@TerryHancock None of the instances in Germany are state-funded. Usually smaller groups or communities within those provinces or cities set up their own instances. I feel like it would be a great little project for universities or more technically inclined groups within Mainland US @CEbbinghaus @TerryHancock That’s not quite right. There is https://social.bund.de/explore and https://bawü.social/explore specifically for government agencies and there is also https://edi.social/explore (internal) and https://det.social/about (public), funded by the public-service television broadcaster ZDF. They are all funded with taxpayer’s money. And the you also have EU Video and EU Voice as a pilot project. |
@CEbbinghaus
Although it's technically feasible, it seems like it would be politically unlikely to see state-funded instances in the US.
There is fanatical opposition to public services in the USA, even for obvious things.
I wish we were more enlightened about that.
