Which EU country will be the first to officially move its public institutions to a national Mastodon instance, bringing political debate to the Fediverse and away from disinformation platforms like X?

We know some national-level instances already exist (e.g. in Germany). The question is: who will make it a political decision, not just a technical one?

@leavex I place my bet on the Netherlands. Germany? Never. Germany only changes things when it comes to pumping money into corruption. Germany would rather do one own thing, expensive, designed by Siemens and T-Systems, compatible with the Fediverse only after the fourth expansion stage in eight years, and then with annoying failures and errors.

@leavex I don't know which one might be the first, but I am willing to bet that it is NOT going to be Austria.
The encyclopaedia entry for "IT-illiterate" is just a picture of the Austrian parliament.

@leavex sadly this app is completely dumb. Its not even able to sort content in a chronological order.

They don't seem to have said much lately. They're last toot was in September last year.

@leavex @viennawriter I see the point, but 6 accounts from the official Swiss government instance had 3500 followers together. So to be honest, yes, reach is not equal to reach, but it is a really significant difference, even if the "reach quality" on Mastodon is much higher..
@Seraina @leavex @viennawriter it's better to have 3,500 actual people following you than 3.5 million spambots shouting Nazi slogans and AI-generating CSAM but hey I guess they have a different definition of "reach" than I do.

Might be worthwhile to check in with @BBCRD if this is still an ongoing project, given the increasing focus on finding alternatives to the likes of X -

@leavex not germany, the german gov is still too cozy with trump, musk etc. (especially the chancellor, who is practically infatuated with trump)

@leavex unfortunately not Switzerland. They have done a trial on Mastodon, but the reach was apparently not satisfying.

I wish I could say Germany, but that's not gonna happen with the current government. So I gave Ireland my vote. -

@clickhere @leavex Yes, have these people ever *met* Ireland?
