   • André Simonazzi

   The Swiss Government has officially launched their Mastodon server at https://social.admin.ch/

   In their official press release the Government confirms it is a trial for one year. They state that "Mastodon has several characteristics that make it fundamentally attractive for government communications", such as being beyond the control of others, as well as it being privacy friendly.

     We now have the following national governments with a Mastodon server:

     - Germany: https://social.bund.de
     - The Netherlands: https://social.overheid.nl
     - Switzerland: https://social.admin.ch

     As well as the EU with
     - https://social.network.europa.eu

     Let's hope that other countries will follow this design pattern, and all launch a fediverse server at social.[governmentwebsite].[TLD]. Following this pattern makes it immediately clear to people they are communicating with an official government account.
