false alarm it’s only threads
Nah. It’s threads. I’m pretty sure most fediverse instances blocked threads.net before they even tried to federate. I know mine did.
a lot of Lemmy did the rest of fediverse less so
Oh, I’m referring to my mastodon instance.
mastodon.world didn’t
Neither did Mastodon.social or Mastodon.online, though honestly I’d recommend people steer clear of those instances when signing up for a different reason, they’re also very widely blocked or limited by a lot of servers due to issues with spam and moderation. Ironic that these instances are already too big to effectively moderate, yet threads is bigger and also way worse (see link in other comment about their moderation issues) and yet people still want to federate with them.
@potus@threads.net
Feels a bit weird pinging the president in Lemmy comments, but come at me, Secret Service.
@POTUS@femboy.breeding.college is his real handle
On behalf of the dozens of us here…. Welcome Joe!
Ah it’s Threads…
Good that it’s fedi, bad that it’s threads. They definitely have the resources to run a government Mastodon instance, but no let’s stay beholden to the tech companies 😑
And none of them appear to have joined Bluesky yet, a competing decentralized social network running on its own AT protocol that recently opened general signups.
good.
I’d rather have them on Bluesky/AT than Threads, to be perfectly honest…
Neither is good
Eh, from what I could gather from both specs ATProto does address some shortcomings of ActivityPub, so the idea has some technical merit. While a lot of the current Fediverse seems to have settled on AP, it’s not like it’s the be-all and end-all of federated protocols either.
Maybe you’re just talking about the company behind it?
AT does have some advantages, but I strongly prefer the whole philosophy behind AP.
And yes, bsky doesn’t really inspire me with confidence.
Whats wrong with bluesky? I hear this general sentiment about it but have never even looked at it.
I believe, people are mostly annoyed that Bluesky started yet another (half-baked) standard, rather than throwing their weight behind ActivityPub.
This would be fine, if they were decidedly a for-profit company, but their whole branding is that they want to benefit humanity.
It’s also weird that the former CEO of Twitter is involved.
The guy could have pushed Twitter into that direction, but apparently, he needed a separate project to have this change of heart.Like, I don’t know, they’ve got some things that look alright:
- They’ve open-sourced some things.
- It’s legally a Public Benefit Company.
- They’ve got the creator of XMPP on board, so that at least makes it credible that they genuinely want to come up with a better protocol.
- Their CEO is a techie.
But yeah, I’m still worried, it ends up being a bait-and-switch. Make it all look good for now and once enough users have signed up, slowly transition to just becoming yet another Twitter.
If you think that he personally goes anywhere near this I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya…
All of his social media accounts are handled by his PR team. He probably doesn’t even know what’s on them.
Joe can’t see your welcome message. Threads can’t see content posted outside of Threads. It can only spam masto Instances, and if you want to comment, you need to download Threads.
sigh So Threads can throw their posts out into the fediverse, but no one from fediverse is allowed to post comments back? Why am I not surprised? 🙄

That’s @potus, for those on platforms that can view microblogs and that are not defederated from Threads.
Remember that comments are not federated to/from threads yet. If I understood correctly, likes are federated.
I’m just waiting for the president of my country to start federating, then I can follow him from Mastodon and delete my Threads account.
I see it as a positive thing
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The official US president Threads account, currently helmed by President Joe Biden, has begun using Meta’s ActivityPub integration, making Biden the first sitting US president to post on the decentralized networking protocol.
The account turning on fediverse posting comes only a couple of weeks after Threads rolled out its beta ActivityPub integration for users in the US, Canada, and Japan.
Biden may not be able to see replies and follows as they pour in from the fediverse — and with some servers blocking connections to Meta, not everyone there will be able to see his posts — as those features weren’t part of Threads’ integration when it opened up beta testing last month.
So far, only Biden’s official POTUS account appears to have toggled Threads’ fediverse integration on.
Neither Dr. Jill Biden’s nor Vice President Kamala Harris’ accounts showed up in a search.
And none of them appear to have joined Bluesky yet, a competing decentralized social network running on its own AT protocol that recently opened general signups.
The original article contains 220 words, the summary contains 169 words. Saved 23%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
POTUS puts the ‘fed’ in ‘fediverse.’
Thanks I hate it.
Also too bad that the White House has joined Meta, specifically, rather than the decentralized Fediverse, but libs gonna lib.
Would have been cool for them to host their own instance with just the one account
But open source software is communism! Much more on brand for the White House to go with Meta
Would make sense too, they don’t use default Gmail either. Some other governments have Mastodon instances
Nah, give those National Parks posters a Mastodon account. Way more desirable than POTUS. Also put all those other random gov Twitter accounts on it so they can link somewhere that anyone can read.
Its a vague undulation in a direction I think most folks here would probably prefer?
That’s kinda all you can realistically hope for a lot of the time
Realistically? The EU set up their own Mastodon server two years ago. Of course it’s realistic for the White House to do the same.

I mean more in the broad sense- to hope that there’s going to be any action at all towards something one personally likes.
My standards are pretty low I guess.
Funnily enough the instance my masto is on also uses that motto, tho for an entirely different reason
@fediverse_report Awesome! looking forward for the completed implementation.
Can I follow him from L.W?
Lemmy doesn’t have a feature to follow users, last I checked.
You can follow him from kbin.social
Do you know how to do this?
It’s this account
Seeing what hits top from politics@lemmy.world lately, I believe it.
Mastodon instances need to defederate.
If you want to comment on any POTUS posts with the broader user base, you have to download Threads. Fuck that noise.
Dethreaderate
Corporate shill, reaffirmed.

At least go with Geoncider in Chief or something. It may not be a word, but it still feels grammatically correct.
As if he knows how to operate a smartphone.
