On the one hand, it’s a good thing that @potus joined the #fediverse https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/24119353/joe-biden-threads-mastodon-activitypub-fediverse so that everyone can subscribe to official statements posts without having to use Twitter, AKA X. On the other hand, that namespace should be @[email protected] & be announced with a blog post that shares a strategy for a federal open social web & online Q&A. The void of policy here is frustrating.

@digiphile @potus @deanbetz Yes! Like this Canadian petition in the House of Commons is advocating!

@[email protected] signed, though I'd prefer it if it weren't Mastodon.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@julian thank you for signing!! I'm curious and interested, what would you prefer and why? If you don't mind.

[thekatehere@mastodon.social]

@chris @digiphile @potus @deanbetz I hope more known canadian names can join the platform aswell soon.

[thekatehere@mastodon.social]

@chris @digiphile @potus @deanbetz Also I find it funny Gord Johns introduced this petition before making an account on here. I wanna follow him.

@chris @digiphile @deanbetz

This is a great petition!

#CanPoli

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@northernlights @digiphile @deanbetz thank you! Not just my idea so I can't and won't take full credit!!

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@Thekatehere @digiphile @potus @deanbetz I will tell him that next time I see him, maybe it'll convince him

@digiphile @fediversereport To be fair, I don’t think this is the result of White House IT saying, “Which Fediverse service should we use?” and deciding on Threads. They were just on Threads already and flipped a switch.

Flipping that switch isn’t strong evidence to me that they particularly care that that switch is there in the first place.

[brennschluss@mas.to]

@digiphile threads hates my browser (or proxy, idk why but they do not load anything in my network) and threads are blocked on mas.to so I guess not Joe posting for me :ablobderpy:

@brennschluss @digiphile

I put threads in my router dns block list. I do not want to associate with any spyware coming into my home. to me, threads is spyware from facebook.

I also don't understand the inconsistency, why is meta and google? should it not be meta and alphabet then? or just facebook and google? why? why? why? but I don't care, i'm boycotting any and all products and services from the super spy club GAFAM notwithstanding. ️ ️

cheers.
