- Any Irish govt depts, agencies, etc on BlueSky : follow them, like and repost their posts. Show them were here and it’s worth it for other public bodies to follow them from the dark side #speirgorm
- While I agree with the sentiment, if we are going to get them to move, shouldn’t we get them to move to Mastodon? mastodon.ie/@iBallesty/1...
- Tim Berners‑Lee has praised Mastodon as a decentralized, non‑ad‑driven alternative to traditional social networks, saying it avoids polarization and data exploitation while aligning with his vision for an open, user‑empowered web.
- Whilst I agree that Mastodon servers is good for long term independence & that BlueSky might get sold off to a RW billionaire who thrashes it, I feel Mastodon doesn’t have the critical mass that BlueSky has already achieved (and would grow further if more govt agencies made it their primary service)Feb 4, 2026 20:02
- there is a middle ground, go on both. You can use content creation software like @buffer.com which will allow you post to up to 3 different platforms for free, and I’m sure most of these agencies have their own social media suites.
