I'd sure like to see a new tech industry of converting (upgrading) institutions and corporations onto the fediverse, linux, office alternatives, etc. Create a sales doc with rationale and cost:benefit estimates that potential clients like colleges/universities, municipalities, hospitals and corps can consider in their budget deliberations. -

Thanks for making the case! I believe it is also important to learn from and ‘fame’ the
government organisations and public institutions who are already active on Mastodon/Fediverse 🧐
Bart Knubben (@bartknubben@mastodon.nl)
@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net 👌 And their accounts are on the 🇳🇱 government Mastodon instance https://social.overheid.nl (also reachable via https://social.gov.nl). Other accounts of Dutch goverment officials, besides @stasdigi@social.overheid.nl: - @MinisterBZK@social.overheid.nl - @staatssecretarisbzk@social.overheid.nl - @MinisterVRO@social.overheid.nl For similar gov instances in 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 check: https://social.overheid.nl/about#:~:text=5.%20Zijn%20er,https://social.edps.europa.eu. Hopefully, other governments will also join Mastodon/Fediverse soon :-)

@_elena @MichelPatrice I think you need to add .rss to it. https://mastodon.world/@ruud.rss
It works! You have to add .rss instead of /rss.
It is set up on my Thunderbird. I will see, Elena, if your next posts do appear in my rss feed.

@MichelPatrice @ruud thanks! Correcting this ASAP (and crediting Ruud)

Yesterday I wrote: "Public institutions are funded by taxpayers' money: their communications serve public interests and should be open to all - without the need of creating social media accounts on proprietary, for-profit closed systems. This is especially salient for European governmental communications: isn’t it absurd that they would require social media accounts owned and run by U.S. based companies?"
Credit goes to @samvie for suggesting I add the bit "funded by taxpayers' money"

@_elena your article is so clear and precise that having an Italian translation is a good thing for all our "evangelists" of the Fediverse

@MichelPatrice oh that's odd because I follow my Fediverse accounts via RSS feeds (to check if they federate and have a reference... but GoToSocial and Ghost). I wonder if my own Mastodon doesn't work (I couldn't do it either) because it starts with an underscore and it could be a bug?
It also works with hashtags. I just tried it.
Look for a hashtag in the search box. Click on the hashtag in the result list. Copy the link in navigation bar and add .rss.
I am now just waiting to see if I will get this hashtag's publications from the whole fediverse (which would be cool) or from Mastodon only.

@_elena And.. Just finished reading it. And what can I say? Thank you for your insights and for sharing them in such an effective and enjoyable tone. Public access to social posts without needing an account is a definitive advantage of the fediverse we need to promote more than ever. And yes, when institutions will start to add the mastodon/pixelfed/... logo along other networks, this will contribute to normalise them and should help attracting more folks here. Hopefully! En avant

@imacrea awww thank you so much for the kind words, I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed my post. Someone volunteered to translate it into French... I'll share the FR version with you once I have it

@Gargron @EUCommission @_elena @aral @haubles @europeanspodcast @samvie @tferrer @rstockm Yes, well argued Elena. We should all use Mastodon in particular and the Fediverse more generally. Especially all Europeans.

@souverain thank you! Yesterday someone volunteered to do it but I haven't heard back since. I'd love to have a French version so that I can go advocate for a Fediverse profile in my neighborhood mairie... and also with whomever wins the Mairie de Paris
