Probably a poor decision to be creating accounts on government operated instances. Since they own the server, they're in a position to:
I'm all for government support and adoption of open-source software so long as they're not in the position to disrupt how it's used by the public at large.
Edit (my perspective is relevant, but doesn't apply in this case): My nerd impulses outran my willingness to read the link's content. Seems it's not for public registration.
Edit 2: Like my cornbread eating American ass can read Dutch anyway ๐คฃ
This is going to be a private instance. No normal citizens can create an account.
It's a response to Twitter shielding access to unregistered users. A lot of public services used Twitter to spread information.
And this is how all Governmental instances have to be, private. Mastodon is a great way to communicate for Government as they control it. They don't rely on a company and can manage the servers.
My mistake.
