"The US Government can't just spin up a whitehouse.gov fedi server, how naive, don't you know there's rules and procurement, you think Biden's just gonna run it from a raspberry pi under his desk in the oval office lol"
And yet. The various arms and branches of the US government already maintain a social media presence. They maintain their own websites. Their own mail servers. They are the literal government, they pass laws and set policies all the time, there are literally millions of employed and elected officers whose job is creating, enforcing, and maintaining all sorts of infrastructure and policy and rules and regulations.
I'm pretty sure they can handle one little mastodon instance.
@uastronomer Welllllll, it’s now day 5 of the apply-for-citizenship online portal being offline. Just because they released an updated version of the form. So color me skeptical of their IT chops. 😂
(We’ve waited 10 years to qualify to apply, what’s a few more days between friends, right?)
