@_elena If you have direct control if your website, yes. I do not know anything about the real situation, but I can foresee that the social team needs to ask another department / digit for this, who themselves are under water and sub-contracted the hosting of the website to a contractor, but the software itself is running on Windows 2000 and maintained by yet another team, and…

@renchap understood. And trust me, they have all my sympathy.
I just wish they followed the example of the Court of Justice of the European Union. They added TONS of social media icons in their footer... you can see how they're all crowded together and sort of breaking the alignment, but at least they made the effort. Go Curia!

@ainali @govdirectory ooooh thank you for the fantastic resource, I really appreciate!!!
Wow indeed a great resource. And based on #WikiData, I like that a lot.
I add on a regular basis Mastodon addresses to WikData resources.
The power of #LinkedData.

This is simply AMAZING!!!
Thank you so much for being here on the #fediverse and for raising awareness about it with your website visitors
️@EUCommission can you please be next? I argued for this in my latest article: https://blog.elenarossini.com/openness-transparency-and-reach-three-reasons-why-public-institutions-should-embrace-the-fediverse/
@_elena somewhat more trivially, this reminds me I need to add a Forkiverse icon to https://fridaygoodybag.com/ for the benefit of the 3 people who might see the website

I think that it would be good to have only social media buttons of public value driven, self hosted platforms at the bottom of all pages (e.g. the Mastodon account), and one button that redirects to a page with bigtech share buttons. This page should also have an explanation why these platforms are not recommended and therefore only accessible via that intermediate page.

@hikingdude cool indeed
Franz I know you're in Bavaria... what is the official website of your region? I want to start contacting public institutions to get them on the fediverse...@_elena
Puh good question, there are quite some:
Administration / Government in levels of regional granularity:
https://www.bayern.de
https://www.oberbayern.de
https://www.bad-toelz.deTourism:
https://tourismus.bayern/
https://erlebe.bayernAll of them have SOME sharing icons - none of them in the fediverse.
