@Paulatics Yay! Good start! It would be nice to use social media where we don't need an account though... I think only YouTube doesn't need one?

@Paulatics

This is great news! I wish all government accounts would do the same.

@Paulatics@mstdn.ca "LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube" 😐

@Paulatics I vote for a GoC Mastadon server :-) Good to see there is some recognition of the toxic nature of Twitter

@Paulatics Yay! Jeez, had no idea they were still there. Held onto that fetid bone for a long time.

@Paulatics the govt should not be dependent on US companies to reach Canadians. Those communications are manipulated and it's going to get worse.

@Paulatics Imagine still using FaXistan as a normal communication channel until end of February 2025.

@Paulatics Awesome. Small necessary step.

Now we need to incorporate fediverse into government communication, with self-hosted servers.

Then a transition to Linux on all government computers.

The money we save on licensing we can repurpose for developing better open-source systems for all Canadians.

Silicon valley has never been an ally.

@Paulatics

That's great news! Now, if only the entire government would stop using foreign owned walled gardens to communicate with Canadians.

If only there was some sort of open, easily federated platform that could be run within the gc.ca domain, thereby verifying every person and post on the platform. 🤔

@Paulatics Yay!!! It’s about time!!

@Paulatics

* squee * Hooray, Supreme Court of Canada!!

@Paulatics YES!!
Things are finally moving!

@Paulatics well, about time …

@Paulatics The Government of Canada should make a Mastodon instance.

@Paulatics
🇨🇦🥲❤️

@Paulatics

I always loved the Supremes and this will make Trumpusk batshit crazy

@Paulatics good news/bad news. No public sector bodies should use corporate services for primary communication. I’m not saying info shouldn’t be shared on the networks you listed but they should be in addition to public spaces operated by local, provincial, territorial or federal governments. I will not create an account with a corporation that mines my data in order to receive information that should be free.

@Paulatics yay for the Supremes! I understand “why” they can’t leave Meta and LinkedIn but I sure wish that we could find an alternative to those platforms.

@Paulatics
They should come to Mastodon
@Linux

@Paulatics@mstdn.ca Sad news: they're not even moving to Bluesky, they're just staying on the other billionaire platforms

@Paulatics

LinkedIn,Facebook, Instagram and YouTube! Mastodon users react:

(Medien: 1)

@Paulatics

The Supreme Court of Canada should get a Bluesky account. At least it's not run by fascists.

@Paulatics
Good for #Canada. Nazi friendly sponsored platforms need to be axed

@Paulatics

A very wise decision…

@Paulatics If you see an official statement from the Supreme Court on its website or elsewhere, can you please share it?

@Paulatics

It's a start. But Facebook and Instagram are no better.

@Paulatics

That’s a great start!

Referring everyone just to go over to Meta though … *sigh*

@Paulatics Amazing news!!!

@Paulatics YES!

@Paulatics they seriously need to get on a platform NOT owned by US billionaires

@Paulatics And why not Mastodon?

@Paulatics Fantastic.

@Paulatics This is good news!

@Paulatics

Great they are abandoning Twitter, but the others mentioned are not much better.

To me, it would be better to move to BlueSky and/or Mastodon, leaving Facebook and Instagram.

@Paulatics Excellent news.

@Paulatics They ought to boycott all USA based platforms.

@Paulatics
Next close out your Target credit card accounts, please. You guys don't need to but it would be a nice gesture. Thanks!

@Paulatics they should come here! Mastodon is perfect for government and public bodies. They can control their own presence entirely. No dependence on foreign services.

@Paulatics Yay!!

@Paulatics LinkedIn is such a weird choice. Does anyone follows politics on there?

@Paulatics
Moving from Musk to Suckerberg. What's good about that?

@Paulatics Yay!
