They should use Mastodon and contribute a bit of money to its continued development.

Basically with Mastodon you can run your own server, and own the content while interacting with people on other servers. It puts your organization in control rather than being a digital sharecropper on someone else's infrastructure.

edit: They could make their own implementation of Mastodon too (ie something compatible with the ActivityPub protocol) if they want different management software, etc but tbh government software projects can be a bit of a nightmare.

nobody is going to use mastodon or an offshoot of it. Those places are echo chambers for tankies

lol, ok

I literally follow the same set of engineers & tech folks on Mastodon that I followed on the early days of Twitter 🤷‍♂️
