I hope that other governments follow suit.
I hope governments make this a trend, although I feel the medium still needs to evolve.
I tried to start a Mastodon account, but I got the error message "Validation failed: time zone not included in list"
Soo... you're located on Mars?
Probably a poor decision to be creating accounts on government operated instances. Since they own the server, they're in a position to:
- Siphon credentials and attempt reuse to gain access to distinct services
- Ban individual accounts
- Censor based on post content
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 🤣
