The Dutch government has officially launched their Mastodon server, at social.overheid.nl. The server came online over the weekend, and today the Alexandra van Huffelen, State Secretary of Digitalisation, announced that the server has officially been taken into use. The server is hosted on the domain overheid.nl, the official domain of the Dutch government.

This is good to see, assuming that is, it will be used for good and honest purposes. I have little trust or faith in any government these days.

Good or bad government needs a channel to communicate with its people. Considering twitter was blocking tweets for people without accounts, this is a great step.
