Funny thing is that I'm not sure if governments should run official Mastodon servers where all political parties blend into one. I'm from Finland, and we currently have a mild problem called "dipshit party having actual political reach". Including several members of parliament who have tweeted Not So Savoury Things which would be a banworthy offence in pre-Musk Twitter (if anyone at the staff comprehended Finnish language, that is). So maybe the task of running Mastodon servers for candidates and actual serving members of political machinery should fall to the political parties. If an entite dipshit party gets defederated, maybe that's a signal they should consider.
I don’t think this server will be used by individuals or the political parties. This will be used by the institutions and departments of the government to broadcast information
