@WADeptHealth Yes please!

@WADeptHealth Welcome, I'm normally a Seattle area resident and would love to see more state and local institutions using Mastodon and other services to get their messages out instead of sites which hide what can be critical public info behind login walls.

@WADeptHealth yay! I'm so glad you're here.

#PortTownsend

@WADeptHealth Yes please! We'd love to see more of your fellow state agencies on here too.

@WADeptHealth Thank you for using federated, oligarch-free social media! Please tell your peers elsewhere in the wa.gov world.

@WADeptHealth MOAR of this - also, sneak into the other agencies offices and set them up too. Especially the ferry people.

@WADeptHealth Not a Washingtonian here, I’m a southern boy as far as you’re concerned, but welcome, and it’s good to see public agencies on non-corporate social media. More of that please!

@WADeptHealth Heavens, yes, hello!

Please just fire up a client, and at least copy-paste your updates from any other social comms. Some of us have been here 7+ years waiting for our public services to find their way.

@WADeptHealth Thank you!

@WADeptHealth don't tell them I said this but I think you're cooler than @wsdot

@WADeptHealth welcome (back)!

@WADeptHealth@universeodon.com is there any chance other state agencies would make their way onto mastodon? especially the DOT, it's very inconvenient having to log in to twitter to check traffic and road updates.

@WADeptHealth

Thank you, please do!

@WADeptHealth Welcome from Canada!

@WADeptHealth
Washingtonian here! Thanks for joining Mastodon!

"We were reminded that we made this account and then got distracted by something bright and shiny"

Bright and shiny things often turn out to be lacklustre. Look instead for definite long-term goals 🙂

@WADeptHealth OK, good deal, tell me about any major PSP shellfish or nasty beach closures please. I need to know!

@WADeptHealth please keep it up!

@WADeptHealth
Welcome back, good to see you!

@WADeptHealth Excellent. Post away!

@WADeptHealth as a neuro-diverse Washington resident, I can totally sympathize! Welcome back!

@WADeptHealth Or bridge your Bluesky account so we can follow that!

@WADeptHealth Glad to see you here!

@WADeptHealth This is fantastic to have you here! maybe we can get WSDOT next? cc @BarbChamberlain ?

@WADeptHealth Here's me thinking it was wa.gov.au for a moment. 😦

@WADeptHealth
Yes please! Thank you for joining the fediverse!

@WADeptHealth Thank you! Glad to see you’re back!

@WADeptHealth Excellent!

@WADeptHealth hell yeah #Seattle #Tacoma

@WADeptHealth welcome!

@WADeptHealth Hey @WADeptHealth, I'm in a neighboring state but I'm going to follow you because I suppose we mostly have the same health concerns over here, and Mastodon is the social media I actually use. And I want to encourage government agencies to use this channel.
