A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The counter argument to this is that the government's public communication should be accessible to everyone. Government messages should be visible to the public without them having to register and log in. That is becoming increasingly more difficult in corporate social media, especially Meta's - Instagram and FB are good indicators.
The advantage of the fediverse isn't just that you can view public messages without registering. If you need to subscribe to something, you can do so from any fediverse platform - no need for another new account. This leaves it open for the government to choose or even host their own fediverse platform - something many governments are already doing.
Oh I’m not arguing with you there, I think activity pub should absolutely be used by governments one way or another. If for nothing else than hosting their own content.
Oh! I was not arguing either. I meant 'counter argument' as in justification. Points to argue a case for governments to choose the fediverse. Fediverse has no one other than its devs and users to argue for it.
