Let’s hope more follow and even better go to Mastodon instead. Each government should own and operate instances for their official communication instead of relying on a private company
Governments using mastodon just make perfect sense to me.
It really does. They should run their own instance and only govt employees can have accounts on them but the rest of us could i teract.
We did: https://social.overheid.nl/about (Dutch)
That’s so cool!
Unfortunately as of the elections last month now our government will itself be an extreme-right cesspool. They will actually belong on Twitter :'(
That’s an insult to gigantic global sewers.
Agreed. Sewers serve an important sanitary purpose. I propose to characterize Twixxer as an out of control tire fire.
Why not a controlled tire fire:
…like the Seine

After buying Twitter in 2022, Elon Musk laid off thousands of employees, including many who moderated content on the platform.
Rebranded as X, it has lost several major advertisers and was blasted by critics, including the White House, for not doing enough to curtail antisemitism.
“This platform and its owner intentionally exacerbates tensions and conflicts,” Hidalgo said in lengthy posts in English and French, citing manipulation, disinformation, antisemitism and attacks on scientists, climatologists, women and liberals.
Hidalgo’s campaign to transform Paris into a cycling capital has earned her both scorn and praise on social media over the years, with some users criticising the seemingly endless work and visually unappealing worksites under the #SaccageParis (WreckParis) hashtag.
More recently, she has come under fire for a trip to the French island of Tahiti purportedly to view a 2024 Olympics surfing site, but that opponents said did not fall under her remit and during which she visited her daughter who lives there.
X users and opposition politicians took to the #TahitiGate hashtag to lambast her over the partially taxpayer-funded trip.

The Paris Mayor? Is this really a major story?
Lots of people have left or silent quit… At this time, its hardly a story anymore honestly
Is this really a major story?
No, it’s a Mayor story
Shocking few politicians have stopped using it however.
It’s a bit light for a news story. It could have been a lengthier analysis on Twitter’s decline and spread of hate speech on the platform.
Under any other circumstance, an excellent set up to a Paris joke; but they’re right.
