Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦Out of curiosity- what instances are y’all on - and why? What are the pros and cons of the various instances you have chosen?
John Francis 🇨🇦🦫🍁💪⬆️@Paulatics you should nag the Senate IT to start up an official instance for official accounts of Senators.
@johnefrancis The Senate IT department is scathingly negative about Mastodon. They do not think I should be using it myself.
@Paulatics they probably just hate change and uncertainty. It's sad that they blindly recommend all manner of terrible foreign platforms for everything.
Paul Turnbull has moved.🇨🇦@johnefrancis @Paulatics Large IT departments tend to be inherently conservative. It’s the same attitude that led to “nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft products.” :/
Wouter@nukleos@Paulatics @johnefrancis @Chigaze Remember this: 25 years ago the saying was “nobody ever got fired for buying IBM products." 😛
