    Nice to see (some of) my taxes going to improving the Fediverse.

    The Sovereign Tech Agency (previously Sovereign Tech Fund) is an organisation set up by the German government to fund critical open source projects. Mastodon receiving funds therefore means that the German government considers the Fediverse critical infrastructure.

      Vaguely remember that some European government agencies dropped X and started public communication via the Fediverse.
