"Minister, we have a cunning way to lower the speed limits, and go metric, at the same time..."

I mean, we should be able to interact with mastodon via fedipub, right?

If we had a separate server, it might be messy, as then there are two sets of accounts.

It's more on the technical side, but could suit you.

Too many places treat CCAS as plan A, but it does make sense doing it in the background as a plan B.

It does worry me though, that everyone is just going to go "eh, we'll just capture it in 20 years".
