@haubles normalize organizations, governments, cities and more to run their own servers — just like running your own website. Tooling and systems from managed hosting and more to support many more long tail organizations to do this safely and securely. 4 comments
@haubles I don’t mean tech orgs running things that integrate into their existing product users. I mean a long tail of smaller companies running instances. You “trust” a domain name, so if mayor@your town has an account it’s verified. And this will require education on many fronts. And potentially tooling for cross posting, like Buffer, because orgs won’t drop existing channels. @haubles @bmann @mozilla @medium The German federal government has had its own Mastodon server for about a year now. Many of their institutions have an account at: https://social.bund.de/about The European Union has had its own server for about six months now. Also with many institutions and key people with their own account: https://social.network.europa.eu/about  @lennardvanotterloo @bmann @mozilla @medium Amazing!! Thank you for sharing, Lennard. Perhaps I should have said, "US gov't will be the last to the party..." We're usually a bit behind y'all, aren't we? xD |
Gregory's Server
@bmann yes! @mozilla and @medium have instances, who else?
governments and cities... somehow, I feel like they'll be the last to the party. Have you seen any examples of such? the only location-based instances I've encountered so far are grassroots efforts from locals.
and completely agree on the tooling and systems... it will be interesting to see what springs up for the non-technical aspects of adminning an instance, like policy drafting, community management, etc.
