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 -

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

@leavex Not Ireland: this is where GAFAMs "pay their taxes"

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

@leavex Unfortunately, 19% of these voters are extremely wrong.

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

@leavex Ireland is too invested in USA tech.
Given how noisy Spain are being about X though, it wouldn't surprise me if they got there first.
