Anyone know some #PEI Fediversians? Maybe we could get our last (but first!) Province represented for signature #300! (Currently 297) Canada #Mastodon #Fediverse is killin' it! Please share and spread the word on other Fediverse platforms too! #pixelfed #Lemmy #peertube #Friendica #Bookwyrm #funkwhale #firefish #kbin #Pleroma #sharkey #e4769 #cdnpoli #canpoli EN: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-4769 FR: https://www.noscommunes.ca/petitions/fr/Petition/Details?Petition=e-4769

A parliamentary petition has been started to try to encourage the Canadian Government to join the Fediverse. If you want to support this petition, follow the link to Chris Alameny’s post where you’ll find links to both French and English versions of the petition. You have to be a Canadian citizen to sign the petition. We only need a few more signatures to get over the 500 needed. We’d love to see every Province and Territory represented.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll pin this :)

I’ll see if I can compile a longer post with links and stuff to pin after

By join the fediverse, do you mean instances moderated by the federal government? What would be the desired outcome?

I think it means for gov’t agencies (hopefully at all levels) to make important announcements available here as opposed to twitter or other closed platforms

Shouldn’t it be in addition to?

Realistically it would be, they’re not about to cut 99%+ of users off from their announcements.

Hell, for really important stuff they still go with snail mail.

I’d be happy to have an “official” Mastodon instance. If individual politicians want to engage with their constituents, they can use any old Mastodon (or Lemmy, or whatever) instance. But having government agencies use a Mastodon instance for official communications would provide some insulation from the whims of capricious corporations.

Signed.

The corporations need to get out the way. Facebook has put people lives in peril as they took down emergency messages.

You have to be a Canadian citizen to sign the petition.

The website says that residents can sign also, not just citizens

Why doesn’t it say fediverse? Even in scare quotes. I don’t think they would actually do it, but I’m imagining a nightmare scenario where they try launching their own platform.

@CanadaPlus @RandomCanuck Even worse, they might contract it out to some corporate development firm, and spend big bucks for an inferiour app like they did with #ArriveCan.
