@stux but will they federate with Threads????
Show threadEmil Jacobs - CollectifissionJul 10, 2023

@dwgill @stux Het is de overheid. Ik vind het al knap dat ze op mastodon zitten.

En ja, slim als ze federeren met Threads. Groter bereik is wat ze willen.

@dwgill @stux Considering that Threads is illegal in the EU I'm not sure it would make much sense for them to do so.

@stux Very cool, I've been an advocate for this for a while now: https://www.staygrounded.online/p/what-if-social-media-was-a-public
An Actual "Digital Town Square"

What might a publicly owned social media platform look like?

@stux I thought they don't really *have* a government at the moment, because their coalition just fell apart?

(Yeah, I know, staying in power in an acting capacity and all that.)

@stux I wonder when the Belgian goverment would do the same. πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ That would be a (big) leap forward.

It's not that creating a private instance is rocket science. You can even link your instance to an Identity Provider (a central place where you can login and use multiple platforms with that same account)
