Came across this thoughtful post on the fediverse about the need for ActivityPub-based platforms for public institutions.

This resonates deeply for South Korea too. 🇰🇷 Our public services shouldn't depend on centralized platforms like Naver, Kakao, or Instagram for critical communications.

Projects like @fedify and @botkit could enable our government agencies to build ActivityPub-native services with minimal effort—imagine following 災難安全文字(재난안전문자) (emergency alerts) or local traffic updates directly in your fediverse timeline!

Not just convenient, but a matter of information sovereignty. What government communications would you want to follow in the fediverse?

Maybe there are some based devs already working on this, but I so wish there was a publishing platform that was and first, and specifically for public institutions in 🇨🇦

Very similar to how works (built-in to core). Followable anywhere on the social web. Bus route updates, water restriction updates, weather alerts...one domain per municipality, difft accts per agency.

This is a national security issue if Musk & Co can cut off our govt comms.
