Threads? How disappointing. The White House would do better to operate its own fediverse presence.
Like the EU does
YUROP!
It’s generally accepted wisdom that the American government is bad at doing anything at all and therefore should suck as much corporate dick as possible to get the corporations to do things instead. A flawless system to be sure.
Threads != Fediverse
Fuck meta
Threads ⊆ Fediverse
If real, then you mean “President Biden’s social media coordinator is now posting into the Fediverse.”
I’m pretty sure the annoying orange is the only pres/ex-prez who wasted time on official social media.
Threads is not the fediverse
You’re right. But, the Fediverse is ActivityPub, and Threads is using ActivityPub, therefore Threads is part of the Fediverse.
The beauty of the Fediverse is you can defederate from whoever you want. But don’t confuse that with thinking that you can change the definition and rules of what the Fediverse is.
While it is of course disappointing that he’s doing it on threads it is very nice to see how Twitter is slowly starting to move from being market dominant to being just one of many.
We all hope to see politicians shitpost on Mastodon one day, but it’s obvious why threads is drawing a crowd. Because people have heard of it, and it’s easy to get into.
Imagine if twitter some day opens its gates and starts federating with everyone. Then the musk takeover would have actually improved the world. Even though it hurt his purse a lot, but that is also an improvement I believe.
What will win? People’s hated of Threads or Their love of Biden?
People love Biden?
Like ten people in all of the US love Biden, others just understand that he’s the lesser of two evils
I like how his name is “President Joe Biden” as if not to be confused with the other Joe Biden. Also this insinuates that he is the president of Threads, or the Fediverse, or even the world maybe?
That’s standard for the potus account. The name changes to who is current and that’s the channel used for presidential statements*. A president still has their own account, not named as president, and is used for personal statements.
- rule not applicable 2016-2020 when a personal account was retconned to be an official channel
Ah I see, understandable. Still it’s presented like he’s the universal/everyone’s president.
I don’t know why you are getting downvoted. He is definitely not my president, I am not from that country!
Because it’s his title. Regardless of where you live.
We still say King Charles or President Macron.
