Great initiative! Leading by example!

@Gargron @minbzk

I have to wonder, how do you feel about such prolific institutions using your software in an official capacity?

Is it more pride or anxiety? I feel like I'd trend towards the latter.

@ivanbartos

Any chance on the side of the government of the Czech republic?

@Gargron @minbzk welcome and greetings from Czech Republic.

@Gargron @minbzk great, i am sure that critical alerts is next. Like weather warnings, amber alerts etc. I really don't want to know the political agenda of whoever is in office.

@Gargron @minbzk 🎼Mastodon for Gouvernment 🎶Mastodon for Präsident🎵Mastodon for everywhere…🎶

@Gargron @minbzk @kevinlovestech Welcome! Welcome! 👋

@Gargron @minbzk congratulations! I hope every government follow the Netherland example

@Gargron @minbzk ,Amazing NEWS :)

We Must Expand: #SocialMedia , & #Fediverse ,Around The World & Only Overlapping With #Instances / #Severs , & Accounts ,Only When/If We CHOOSE TOO :)

Congratulations: @Mastodon & @Gargron :)

@Gargron @minbzk Meanwhile the UK government are still deciding which of their mates to bung a few billion £s to to provide a server.
Which will probably never get delivered.

@Gargron @minbzk you want to say that the servers are controlled by the state?

@Gargron @minbzk definitely needs to become the norm, whether via Mastadon or some other means.

@Gargron @minbzk

this is the whey 🐘🧀

@Gargron @minbzk

@Gargron @minbzk that's really cool, something I wish my local government would do

@Gargron @minbzk what's going on at Meta's headquarters

@Gargron @minbzk
But do they engage? @EU_Commission is write-only.

@Gargron @minbzk we could certainly use more democracy in Nova Scotia and Canada. How does this work?

@Gargron @minbzk congratulations holy shit! amazing to see Germany lead the way when it comes to innovative attempts to adopt open-source type of tech!

@Gargron @minbzk That is amazing, great to see that countries want to get in on the Fediverse, and glad to aboard for the ride.

@Gargron @minbzk

@Gargron Oooh, does Mark Rutte have an account? I'd like to ask a question or twenty.

@Gargron @minbzk 其实，各个独立主体，对于大牌平台，至少，应该有类似民主世界对极权中国的策略——“不脱钩，去风险。”
这是极权中国的咎由自取——当它试图将国内民众规训为“受虐狂”，并妄图称霸全球的时候。
‘’庆父不死，鲁难未已‘’，这才是受虐狂之外的清醒者面对极权应有的态度。

@Gargron
It is not government in Germany.
See here
https://social.bund.de/about
"Der Bundesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit (BfDI) betreibt diese Mastodon-Instanz für Zwecke der eigenen Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit."

@bfdi is independent.

@minbzk

@Gargron @minbzk This is great to see. I look forward to some North American governments following the EU lead.

@Gargron
Deutsche Ministerien und die https://social.bund.de/@Bundesregierung haben Accounts, die Instanz gehört nicht der Regierung, sondern @bfdi
So viel Genauigkeit muss sein.

@Gargron @minbzk what government of the Netherlands? Didn't it just collapse?

@Gargron @minbzk thanks to tweeter for showing the way

@Gargron I think those institutions will start a constructive trend. Social media is going through a major transition. Public awareness of the issues appears to be rather low. Most people may not care about unhealthy social media side effects. Or they cannot envision a healthy version.

@Gargron @minbzk this is so awesome to see. Well done Masotdon team! Free communication that is not controlled by evil American corporations will become a reality everywhere!

@Gargron @minbzk @TomOrmiston boggles my mind that more institutions aren't doing it!
