Hate to say they’ll likely move to BlueSky, but at the very least it would be a good idea to have them make a bridge via Bridgy Fed.
We need to make more music on Mastodon.
Still marginally better than x, but I’ve always kinda thought it’d make sense for government entities who already have web hosting to host their own mastodon instance, for public offices to make announcements on, that they control.
Strongly agree. It’s a service that federal or provincial governments could maintain for all (lower) levels of government, crown corps, etc. where account creation is restricted to those entities and prominent public figures within them. And just like that you have a secure, reliable, and accessible general purpose communications platform where every post is from a verified identity with clearly specified qualifications.
As a Nova Scotian…this is beyond the ability of any government in our province unfortunately. We are stuck somewhere around 2000 right now when it comes to internet tech. I agree wholeheartedly but a lot of education needs to happen in government circles first.
Surely it can’t be that much harder to operate and secure than an email server, right?
Which they likely farm out to google here. No joke. It’s crazy. I’ve lived a lot of places in Canada and the government’s in the Maritimes by far are so behind in tech it’s insane.
Elon Musk’s greatest skill is his ability to lie without absolutely any shame.
Tesla was created by Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard. Elon Musk joined the company, took over, and sued them both. He bought the title “Tesla cofounder” with a legal settlement.
He’s also “Chief Engineer” at Space X; a title he bought too, as he owns the company. He’s not a real engineer. He has a degree in financial engineering.
Just like he is the co-founder of PayPal by most publications. When in reality his company merged with the company that created PayPal. He only worked for the company for a few months after they merged before being fired.
Shut down the nazi website!
Honestly it’s not that fucking hard. I don’t get why any government agency inside or outside the US is still active there. Stop feeding the facist furnace coal with your attention.
I understand the reluctance. If they had to change platforms every time there was a controversy they’d end up on a platform with no followers left by the end of it. In this case it is merited though.
Fuck Nazis. Fuck Elon Musk.
With a Mastodon instance they could have their own platform.
