Dutch government announces that they'll make Mastodon available to all layers of the entire Dutch government, as a shared service of the government, starting in 2025!

The Mastodon pilot of the government celebrates their 1-year anniversary today, and as part of the evaluation they stated the Mastodon pilot "strengthens digital autonomy and [creates] a safe and reliable information supply".

1-jarig Mastodon Overheid blikt terug en vooruit - Digitale Overheid

Mastodon is een publiek alternatief voor commerciële online sociale media platforms. In een pilot kan de overheid het platform ontdekken. Wat zijn de eerste lessen?

➕ is that we as Dutch Mastodon users can yell at the government (government).

➖ is that the new Dutch government consists of one big fascist political 'party' (#PVV), a smaller agro-fascist party (#BBB), and two parties collaborating with fascists (#NSC and #VVD). Hopefully this government will not reach 2025.

I fully expect only civil servants to post here via their organization's account though. We'll see.
