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?

@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.

@leavex
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.

@leavex @viennawriter @dresstokilt not sure if that sarcasm helps us, that doesn't sound like a welcoming community. Of course, I share the opinion that they should all leave X immediately.
But.. I guess since it has been a working machinery for journalists and Officials for a long time and partially apparently still works that way, they are hesitating and not courageous. -
