Technically, they need an instagram account to follow the dutch government on threads. Which kind of illuminates my point, for this to become standard we need far better implementation details than what activitypub currently describes. Until that happens, this is just another "social network" to join and keep up with, or ignoring it entirely to rely on some other social network. |

I think that's a misunderstanding or two. An Instagram/Threads account is one potential way "to follow the Dutch government" - actually this is hypothetical, as the threads/mastodon interop is also hypothetical at present, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36669480 .
An account on any public mastodon server is a second way to follow the Dutch government, and should work today much better than the first way. it doesn't need to be "on threads".
GETing the correct rss feed url on their mastodon server is a third way. You don't even need a mastodon account or any other account, but you have to "pull" the content, it's not pushed to your feed.
Finding out which other social media they broadcast to and following them there is possibly a fourth way.
