I just visited the website of the European Data Protection Supervisor @EDPS and noticed that they have a @Mastodon icon / link in their social media navigation bar in the upper right side of the screen.

This is simply AMAZING!!!

Thank you so much for being here on the #fediverse and for raising awareness about it with your website visitors ❤️

@EUCommission can you please be next? I argued for this in my latest article: https://blog.elenarossini.com/openness-transparency-and-reach-three-reasons-why-public-institutions-should-embrace-the-fediverse/

@hikingdude cool indeed :) Franz I know you're in Bavaria... what is the official website of your region? I want to start contacting public institutions to get them on the fediverse...

Puh good question, there are quite some:
Administration / Government in levels of regional granularity:
https://www.bayern.de
https://www.oberbayern.de
https://www.bad-toelz.de

Tourism:
https://tourismus.bayern/
https://erlebe.bayern

All of them have SOME sharing icons - none of them in the fediverse.

Bayerisches Landesportal – Das Landesportal des Freistaats Bayern und der Bayerischen Staatsregierung

Offizielles Landesportal der Bayerischen Staatsregierung: Aktuelle Meldungen, Infos zum Freistaat Bayern, Politikthemen.

@_elena would be lovely. How do you approach them? I thougt, simply mailing them might not be so successful?

@hikingdude I'm thinking of building a splash page with an explanation (the why) plus resources to get started (how)
