Damn, sometimes I'm proud of our government .. until you realize its just a bunch of fuckups in one room!

Probably a poor decision to be creating accounts on government operated instances. Since they own the server, they're in a position to:

Siphon credentials and attempt reuse to gain access to distinct services
Ban individual accounts
Censor based on post content

I'm all for government support and adoption of open-source software so long as they're not in the position to disrupt how it's used by the public at large.

Edit (my perspective is relevant, but doesn't apply in this case): My nerd impulses outran my willingness to read the link's content. Seems it's not for public registration.

Edit 2: Like my cornbread eating American ass can read Dutch anyway 🤣

This is likely exclusively for the government departments or employees, not personal use

Wow, I never thought about this, but this is probably pretty good to have right? Might be a good way to find info about something if their sites are really confusing etc possibly
