    Yeah, they should start their own instance! The European Commission has one, for example. The French government also has an official one via DINUM. There’s others, I’m sure.

      If they make it so only government officials can join the instance, having an account on there could act like verification. You’d be able to trust that every post from there is official and not some impostor spreading misinformation (they could still be spreading misinformation but at least it’d be official government misinformation). Meanwhile I don’t have to make an account on a government website to see the posts and can maintain some privacy. The fediverse rocks!

        That’s exactly what they do, actually. Government officials or official government accounts in general.

        It’s awesome :D
