      No, EU and Germany have been in Mastodon for months.

          Both have their own instances: https://social.bund.de and https://social.network.europa.eu

            That’s really cool. This is a good use-case example of Mastadon, the government can run its own official instance for announcements and information without impacting other instances

      Truth Social is technically a Mastodon instance but it was made by Trump and company after he was in office so it was not used for official communications from the US government.
