    FYI there is a threads relay to mastadon for the official White House account. There’s also several unofficial xitter relays for VP Harris to Mastadon.

    If you’d like official accounts on Mastadon please contact the White House / Biden / Harris and let them know.

    Musk has also attacked Harris more directly. “Democrats destroy democracy in pursuit of power,” a QAnon-linked influencer wrote with Biden’s resignation letter attached. “The Democratic elite, corporate media, and billionaire donors successfully pressured the candidate chosen by Democratic primary voters to drop out because he’s down in the polls and losing.

    Same bs “moderates” tried to frame Biden stepping down…

    They really do sound more and more like trumpets everyday

      So land of the free but if we vote for you to run you have to even if you don’t want to anymore. I didn’t vote for Biden in my primary.

    I’ve seen this claim in two news stories with no evidence. I just followed her effortlessly using these steps:

    • Tap search button in bottom menu
    • Type “Kamala Harris” and hit submit
    • Tap first search result
    • Tap follow button in upper right

    It worked without a problem

      I mean, the story linked above includes a screenshot showing the rate-limiting error message. I assume it’s been fixed, but no reason to think the rate limit error didn’t actually happen.

        no reason to think the rate limit error didn’t actually happen

        • I didn’t say that it didn’t happen
        • I reported my experience
        • I can think of at least two reasons to fake this story: (1) Harris gained a follower when I performed my test, same as the millions of others seeing this story, (2) bad story about Musk for the Musk haters

        So maybe it’s true, maybe it isn’t. I haven’t seen evidence other than the claim of someone who supposedly follows thousands of people but hadn’t yet followed the vice president.

        Not saying it is true, not saying it isn’t. Saying it might not be, and my own observation doesn’t replicate the claim.

        It was a rate limit for someone following too many people. Anyone can go follow her no problem. The person writing this article know there are morons out there that will eat up and share anything vaguely anti-musk.

      It is ridiculous that we have gotten to the point that completely clearly pointing out that an article is BS gets downvoted. Do better lemmyites.
