       @corneliusroemer There are a few regions of Germany who use / or even mandate the use of Free software.   So this makes sense.

       Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.https://social.bund.de/explore

       Unfortunately I mistook fedifinder's output of @theatlantic.com to mean they have an instance. I don't think they have one (yet) unfortunately but this is only a question of time I hope.

       @corneliusroemer Interesting move as this is NOT a public instance - they run the server themselves and don't let anyone else use it, period. Wonder whether that'll set a trend ...we could end up with millions of - federated - servers. (Would that actually use more or less energy than a handful of huge server farms rund by commercial entities?)

       If you like Mastodon it'd be great if you supported their development with a modest donation like I've done. There's no better way to annoy Elon than to bank roll an alternative to ElonSee this tweet for two ways of donating to Mastodon:https://mstdn.science/@corneliusroemer/109298404704283226

       And look - MIT already has a gated instance. Anyone who's on mastodon.mit.edu is verified to have an MIT email. Neat isn't it?https://mastodon.mit.edu/

       @corneliusroemer That sure sounds like the *right* way to do verification. Especially with .gov type sites.
