There is literally no reason this can't be done with an RSS feed which is an open standard that has been around since 1999.

And it's easier than ever before for governments to host their own Mastodon instance on their government domain.

Which, to be clear, can also be followed without an account by just using the RSS feed of it.

The reason is because average people don't know anything that some company didn't benefit from teaching them. So, most people don't know what the fuck RSS is.

We go where the people are.
