This is certainly a growing trend which was first started amongst end-users themselves, and slowly we've seen a few news media outlets also following suite. So far, only a very few government agencies have actually followed. Coming to mind are also The Netherlands. What is attractive for many organisations and agencies on Mastodon, is that...

        It’s a complicated hypothetical.

        Ultimately they have a responsibility to meet people where they are.

    I’m thrilled to see companies shifting to Mastodon from Twitter. Mastodon’s decentralized nature and open-source foundation provide a healthier and more meaningful online experience compared to Twitter’s chaotic, ad-driven environment, specially after elon turd bought it

      Germany seems to have been an earlier adopter of Mastodon (the instance is hosted by the government). If I understood it correctly they just decided to stop using Twitter, it’s not like they started the instance today.

      It says tooted by the Mastodon-Twitter crossposter, which has been killed by space Karen 8 months ago, so I am guessing they were using mastodon from that time
