With how reliant governments are on privately owned social media platforms I sometimes feel some open source social media platform should be run as a public utility so that public communications are at the mercy of wealthy megalomaniacs though I don't know how that would work in practice.
The Dutch are already running a government Mastodon instance
That's great.
The EU is too, there are some German institutions that do too, the Germans were early adopters
Germany has one as well. No clue why he's not using that
It does? Which url is it?
Edit: found it in the other comments lol
For visibility sake: https://social.bund.de/
And also for the EU: https://social.network.europa.eu/
Multiple, actually. There is one for the government, and one for the city of Amsterdam.
If only there was an open source alternative...
