It took the DOT over 20 years to migrate their port of entry truck tracking system from COBOL to Oracle (god help them). That system is much simpler than social security.

Hard agree! I do think fediverse platforms are perfect for public entities to disseminate information.

I’m US based so my example is say a county. They already have the IT infrastructure and staff. Make an instance for the county and a community for each department.

The road department can post road closures and upcoming traffic diversions. The parks department can promote events, etc.

These type of instances can just disable comments. They are read-only so moderation is not needed.

It’s trivial from a resource perspective and even easier than updating a website.
