Incredible! Are they the first government entity to do so?
No, EU and Germany have been in Mastodon for months.
On Mastodon or their own instances?
Both have their own instances: https://social.bund.de and https://social.network.europa.eu
That's really cool. This is a good use-case example of Mastadon, the government can run its own official instance for announcements and information without impacting other instances
That's cool!
Oh shit, I did hear about that. Completely forgot, thank you!
The EU started their own instance when Musk bought Twitter
Truth Social is technically a Mastodon instance but it was made by Trump and company after he was in office so it was not used for official communications from the US government.
