The Dutch government has its own Mastodon server.
As The Fediverse Report writes, it’s intended for government organizations, and one of its first users is State Secretary for Kingdom Relations and Digitalisation Alexandra van Huffelen. A loose automated translation of the announcement reads:
Today we are launching our government server on Mastodon.
In the letter I sent to the House on ‘Digital Community Goods’ on 22 June, I indicated that I support two value-driven alternatives to social media.
One of these alternatives is a ‘private’ Mastodon server used by government organisations.
With this, we are taking another step in our Value-driven Digitization Work Agenda.
The Netherlands is following Germany, which created a government instance last year.
