From my, so far unsucessful experience in trying to get my local governments to use it:

  1. There needs to be a place for them to go immediately and sign up and they need to walked through.
  2. They need to be shown that there *are* people that are there.
    3a) They need to be shown that the general public *can see* Mastodon posts on simple website or embedded regardless if they sign up or not.
    3b) Simultaneously, they need to be reminded and shown that the public *cannot* see what happens on Twitter or Facebook or it is much harder.
