German public Mastodon instance currently hosts at least 52 public institutions


I've seen it mentioned in other places, but I'd like to make aware of a success story in the #Fediverse:

The German #BfDI (Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information) had started quite a while ago a public Fediverse (Mastodon) instance for himself, and for other public institutions: social.bund.de. For a longer while, there were only few institutions joining, but he kept on advertizing it, appearently: During the past weeks, especially the last few days, I've seen more and more familiar institutions go online. So I looked at their channel page and counted 52 ministries, offices, institutions, and associations tooting there as per today.

I'd call this a movement :slight_smile:
