The Dutch government has officially launched their Mastodon server, at social.overheid.nl. The server came online over the weekend, and today the Alexandra van Huffelen, State Secretary of Digitalisation, announced that the server has officially been taken into use. The server is hosted on the domain overheid.nl, the official domain of the Dutch government.

They are instead depending on mostly foreign volunteers. I don't really think the category of employment matters as much as that it is open source.

Its a little different though, because they host their own server and can verify updates before pushing them onto their own hardware. So they arent dependent on foreign volunteers in the same way that they were dependent on foreign servers when using twitter.

100% agree its the open source and decentralized nature that matters more than whos employed where :)
