I've been in contact with Jen Easterly, the head of US CISA, this morning and they'll be creating accounts here. There is an account, @cisacyber, that is legitimately owned by CISA, though they're early in the setup process, so please, don't report them for impersonation.

Since posting the message this is in reply to, I’ve had approximately 11,000,000 replies asking me why CISA or the US government doesn’t set up their own mastodon/fediverse instance. Or telling me that they should. I can’t reply to them all, so addressing it here.

Perhaps they will create one. Maybe they won’t. I’m not them. They didn’t create their own version of twitter.

I have to believe setting up a new service in the US government is a long and complicated and expensive process. Perhaps they want to jump in and see if the fediverse is useful enough to warrant the investment.

It’s been maybe 14 hours. Let’s give them a bit of grace, please.
