Dutch officials from the new government are opening ActivityPub accounts on the Fediverse. For example the state secretary for economics and digital sovereignty at @stasdigi, the minister for internal affairs @MinisterBZK and more. Find, follow and welcome them to the Fediverse on https://social.overheid.nl/about :) I like!
The usual disclaimer for the "Yes, but"ters ;) Yes, the officials also have BlueSky and Twitter accounts. No, ActivityPub isn't yet seen as the main communication channel, it's up to all of us to change that through friendly and respectful interaction. So let's band together and overwhelm them with smiles and encouragement, while also having good, constructive discussions, even on difficult topics. So they see that this is the place to be :)
Jörn Nettingsmeier@jwildeboer I'm following so many politicians and municipalities whose work i have zero stakes in, just to be encouraging... on bad days i wonder if us good-will lurkers are creating a problem similar to the bots talking to bots on x - the actual reach and impact isn't as good as one would think.
But I'm prepared to continue like this for a few years and only then evaluate. For now, let the games begin!
