Threads? How disappointing. The White House would do better to operate its own fediverse presence.
Like the EU does
YUROP!
And some governments, like Germany and The Netherlands.
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
Oh god, please make this a strict inclusion
It already is
Fuck meta!
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.
If he can't nickel and dime every single thing, he won't do it. Right now the fediverse isn't very monetised for him to consider. Among social media platform, old twitter was not excellent but open. Under musk, x is insular and lonely...'cause who tf wants to share data with it.
Good. Fuck Twitter.
A nice first step. Here's hoping they make a Mastodon account next.
Might actually take this opportunity to spam the crap out his account before Facebook inevitably adds their regular content filter to prevent actual conversations from occurring.
No chance anyone with power is monitoring the Biden Threads account
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.
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.
Fair point. Can't argue with that.
King Charles III isn't my king either. Still a king though. And doing a much better job than King Charles I
"Look me over, if you like what you see, help out. If not, vote for the other Biden"
He's definitely making sure everyone knows it's him and not the other Biden
Wait there's no other Joe Biden?
My cousin is phil collins.
Some other countries have the decency to add something like "of the USA" to the name. But this being the USA, of course he is just "the" president.
That's just my cousin Nick!
Strategic Taiwanese-American communication play just got initiated
As well as Alejandra Caraballo.
What will win? People's hated of Threads or Their love of Biden?
Like ten people in all of the US love Biden, others just understand that he's the lesser of two evils
People love Biden?
Yeah. Mainly in LA, SF and NYC.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
