Love the innovation of “starter packs” on Bluesky. I suspect this is part of why it has been able to grow so fast in recent weeks. Has anyone seen any for Digital Government or Government Modernization/Innovation more broadly (either Canadian focused or international)? If not may need to make one!

In my time in non-profit and public service, I've been in many situations where ambitious initiatives were rolled out where any consideration of the technical tools needed to be effective was, at best, last minute. It's a recipe for frustration and burnout.
