Um, yay?
You must log in or register to comment.
This is, on the whole, a good thing. One should be able to have access to their politicians via piblicly accessible means, and the fedi is exactly that.
It’s a giant shame that it’s still being moderated by a tech billionaire, though.
Although your sentiment is correct, it must be said this DOES NOT give you “access” to him.
Excuse me! I pay taxes, so I OWN the president.
Lol
Do you really think Joe Biden is sitting on his phone scrolling through the Fediverse and reading comments from us while he’s taking a dump?
I seriously doubt it’s anyone but some young PR person.
I much prefer the Netherlands goverment approach where they host their own Mastodon instance.
Germany too. And Threads isn’t even part of the Fediverse yet afaik anyway?
I am a bit confused by the status of that, I know Lemmy instances are already defedrating from meta so it must be part of it right?

I don’t think I’ve seen any Threads content on kbin.social nor fedia.io ever. I feel if it was federating I’d see lots of it, no? Since they’re so much larger?

Germany has a mastodon instance?
Really? Where?
https://social.overheid.nl/about is the official Dutch government mastodon server
Would have preferred an account straight on Mastodon but it’s a step forward nonetheless.
Yeah they should have run their own Mastodon server but I can understand they want to reach the Threads audience and until there’s two-way sync Threads it is.
I mean it is on Mastodon as Threads is Federated.
Most instances are defederated from Threads though.
thankfully i’m not one one of those though
I can’t because my instance blocked Threads. I guess it’s time to find a new instance.
Not because of Biden, but to me threads blocking is a positive. I hope instances won’t undo their decision.
Checkout https://infosec.exchange instead of blocking Threads, the admin made a second instance for people who wanted Threads blocked. Like 40 people migrated, lol
The capitalist part of the Fediverse, that is, obviously.
Groan. I’m on a mastodon server and a full believer in the free market. Can we not force this left/right conjecture onto server choice too, please?
He’s referring to Threads
I know. My point remains the same.
Evrything is political:

Deal with it.
hardly capitalist if threads has as many ads as most mastodon servers

Let’s hope they chose a memorable password for the account… a very very memorable password.

I was on the fence, until I heard it’s on Threads. Hard pass.
Biden (and probably 90% of US boomer politicians) have no idea that the internet is, much less Threads.
For now, the integration is a minor gesture, as it’s only a one-way connection from Threads to the Fediverse.
Could someone explain what this means? It it like he can see us but we can’t see him? I didn’t know the Fediverse / ActivityPub could work like that.
It it like he can see us but we can’t see him?
Opposite way around. We can see him but he can’t see us.
The reason you can’t see him is because you’re on Lemmy which will only display microblog posts if they’re (1) a reply to a Lemmy post, (2) made from kbin/mbin, or (3) replied to by someone from kbin/mbin (not entirely sure about this one).
Ah right, thanks :)

I would agree with your suspicion but it’s got to be said that their public statements are pretty clear: It is coming.
It would be pretty useless as it is. Even for them. Federation only really mattered for a few people (us), most of their userbase doesn’t care or know so its not like it was meant to be a hook to lead them in.

As if I need to hear more excuses from that man.
Only if the instance you’re on is not one of those fuckers that block Threads.
Why would you want to??
I’m happy with this. I think it’s good to have the presidents team being in as many places as possible to hear people
i can’t and nor do i want to because my instance admin did me the blessed service of defederating threads ❤️
uhm… why?
