That’s…actually a cool AF idea/inplementation of Fediverse shit. A practical use as well, as they’d control who was on the instance and would be a sorta pseudo-verification process for any accounts on it’s own.

I think it’s perfect for governments. You can subscribe anywhere, you know it’s legit, and that’s a much better way to do notifications than twitter.

Yeah, but then again, do you want a government controlled social media? 🤔

The government could control social media on their own instance, sure.
I think having government accounts come from an official instance would garner more trust in the platform.

It’s not… it’s the fediverse. I’m completely fine with them having their own instance, it’s not like they control it by any means. Hell they can be defederated. It’s a lot better than them choosing some random instance.

I think the distributed nature of Mastodon keeps government control from being an issue. It would be kind of cool as a space for citizens to ask for assistance or air grievances while giving the politicians an officially owned space for things like announcements.

I don't want a private company controlling government email servers, why would I want them to control government social media platforms?
