Germany's anti-discrimination commissioner says federal government should no longer communicate via platform X
Die Unabhängige Bundesbeauftragte für Antidiskriminierung, Ataman, hat die Bundesregierung aufgefordert, keine Kommunikation mehr über die Plattform X zu betreiben.
@tessarakt it's unnerving to see so many public organisations still using the platform despite years and years of documented harm.
Social media teams obsess over metrics and no-one seem to be able to convince them otherwise
Neither should anyone else. Ever. In fact, it would be a good idea to drag Elon Musk out of the building and put him in another one of his Teslas to be shot into space. This time, not with a dummy, but the real Elon Musk.
She is part of a government that sues its own data protection officer to stay on facebook.
@andrewstroehlein excellent
I thought I was taking crazy pills. Honestly. There are better ways.
It's not just people hooked on it. It's organisations too.
Well, they can feel free to use @antidiskriminierung which is silent since 10 months.
Certainly a good idea - not the only account on social.bund.de that is mostly "speechless", so far.
@andrewstroehlein @antidiskriminierung
The German federal government, its departments and many German state governments already have their own accounts and servers on the Fediverse.
For example the German federal government's main account is @Bundesregierung on their server social.bund.de
I did a thread with all of the German federal govermment accounts listed at:

🇩🇪 #Germany has its own Mastodon server for its federal and state government accounts. We know these are official as their server is on the German bund.de domain. (Most are in German) #Deutsch #Deutschland ➡️ @[email protected] - The German Government ➡️ @[email protected] - Today in the Bundestag ➡️ @[email protected] - Federal Ministry of the Interior ➡️ @[email protected] - Federal Foreign Office ➡️ @[email protected] - Germany in the United Nations ➡️ @[email protected] - Federal Foreign Office Cyber Ambassador 🧵 1/13
