Nick“Governments should join the Fediverse!”
IMO, Governments should have websites that work and are regularly updated and should leave social media entirely.
ʙᴇɴ ᴄᴏᴛᴛᴇяɪʟʟ@Nickiquote Gov.uk is a fantastic website. Whoever designed that deserves a medal.
@BenCotterill The problem is they keep moving stuff. I have to write lots of reports that link to it and every time I have to check which links are dead and update them.

Government Digital Services did a brilliant job of building gov.uk, but they stepped on too many toes (and encroached on too many fiefdoms), so they found their wings clipped. ‘Digital first’ required many sacred cows to be sacrificed.
If the team was still intact, I’m sure there would be procedures to ensure that redirects were automatic when stuff moved.
