Oh absolutely would love if he could support the Fediverse but I don’t think he’ll have the reach here. We need people to hear what the gov is doing (good or bad)!
On the flipside, the government hosting a fediverse instance of Mastodon would give a lot more credibility than a blue checkmark, and could be easily linked in other social media. This would give all the reach they had before and more, give them independence from external social media control, and would advertise the fediverse and Mastodon as alternatives to corporate controlled social media. Since the big problem with building social media is getting people to leave what they’re currently using, duplicating your message into a new and preferred system would ease that transition. And if tools were made to cross post onto different social media, it would make it about as easy as what they’re doing now.

Absolutely. I am not saying don’t go to Fediverse. They should be here and then copy to other SM really.
