The Dutch Minister for Digital Economy and Sovereignty joined Mastodon just now 🥳 Proud of our gov officials for using ethical social media #TheNetherlands

@Gina I can't read the Dutch text, but here's my guess at Alt text for their posted picture based on carefully glancing at it:

"The Queen of the Netherlands welcomes John Mastodon to the Royal palace where he will shortly set up his servers for the Dutch people who are all waiting eagerly in the background."

(note to non-sighted ppl, it's not really that, but it is people standing around watching while two shake hands)

@ottaross

English-translated text: Starting today, you can also follow me on Mastodon for news and updates!

This week, I started as State Secretary for the Digital Economy and Sovereignty. An important task, with all digital topics under one portfolio for the first time.

@jeff_bonner While correct, I prefer Ross's version better.
@ottaross
@jeff_bonner well that's no fun. (But full points for accuracy)
