In my opinion, every government, public entity, association, foundation, etc., that needs to communicate with the public should have its own communication channel, with full control over its data and the messages it delivers. When I read “my Discord server,” I feel like responding “there’s nothing ‘yours’ about it - tomorrow morning they could shut everything down, and you would have lost EVERYTHING.”. Own your data!
Sometimes, I read that instances are not opened because of “costs not balanced by the number of users.” But even public television channels are often economically unprofitable, yet they are considered an essential service for public communication. Open, decentralized technologies that ensure control over one’s data should be treated the same way.

@[email protected] (always upset when I see the number of official accounts on X, be it from gouv or people I follow, and who I consider as good persons. Why use shitty social media to communicate?). Ok : number of potential followers, and the historic media almost always relaying infos from X, never from mastodon or other fediverse components. We just don’t exist for the general public. Are we a cult or something? Yep we must be Freemasons or Illuminati of some kind, that’s the only way to explain this…
2024 and people are coming up with the idea of websites again...
Like. That's how the I termer used to work, if you wanted to know about some group. You went to their website, you didn't try to find a social media account they have
But even public television channels are often economically unprofitable,
You're surprised non profits don't make profits?
And why do all these simultaneously obvious but also strangely ignorant posts all coming from people who use their real names on social media?
Did you come here from Facebook or linked in?

And never be blocked their posts by f*, (former) t* and so on.😉@[email protected] you mean like the german government mastodon: https://social.bund.de/ ^
@[email protected] yes, and I wrote about this same thing! https://andypiper.co.uk/2024/08/15/fediverse-for-freedom/
@[email protected] what would you recommend as an alternative to Discord where you own your own data?
I can highly recommend to migrate away from discord uaing https://keet.io today or at least to mirror all discord communication using bots to something like https://cabal.chat 🙂
