laurensDutch government has officially launched their Mastodon server
The server is now live and in use at social.overheid.nl...
ReclipseWe need more governments to follow.
effingjoeand honestly, businesses too. There is opportunity here in the business sector, I think.
curiosityLynxDefinitely. Your PR account being from your official webdomain (or rather, a mastodon/fediverse-specific subdomain, something like mastodon.intel.com) would be the ultimate verification.
Example:
How do you know this (fictitious) announcement that Intel is going to merge with AMD is really from Intel and not from someone pretending to be from Intel for the lulz? Just look at the home instance of the account making this announcement. Only the official Intel account has this home instance.
Could still get hacked, but the point stands that is an extra level of verification.
At least the hacks are then one company at a time or something and not direct to all big companies or people like what happend with twitter (a hacker posted a bitcoin link via multiple popular peoples accounts)
