Outrageous.
@VP and I remain committed to protecting reproductive freedom in Florida and across the U.S.
1) The President is *not* on the #Fediverse
2) That is *not* Joe Biden
3) That *may* be a ghost-written PR account for the Democratic National Committee -- at best
Maybe
In which case it's noise
4) It's on #Threads
5) And be sure to do a reverse phone number lookup on that number -- it's in Delaware
So you be sure to send that text, mkay?
6) And do -- by all means -- make note of the "Joined" date:
Joined: Apr 01, 2024
April 1
Mean anything, or nah?

Not to disagree necessarily, but if you go to whitehouse.gov, there’s a Send Text link towards the bottom of that page that also shows that number.
I wonder if they simply turned the threads federation on for that account yesterday and that’s why it shows April 1 here.
I doubt they could have gotten 2.7M followers in a day.
Who cares?
It's Threads
I've blocked the entire domain
And look at the profile create date:
April 1 2024
And certainly no one has ever copy-pasted a phone number
No
Never
@theverge is reporting is official

1) if I can follow a post-only account what does it matter if they’re not using Mastodon software. That’s the whole point of activity pub.
2/3) That’s just as much POTUS/Biden as the Instagram account and Twitter accounts are - unless I’m missing something
4) see 1
5) same number as on the official Instagram account
6) April 1 is when they turned on federation. My Threads.net account from last year shows March 20, 2024 on Mastodon
@potus Thank you President Biden, Vice President Harris & staff for your efforts! (I wish they weren't necessary.)
🤞🏻 in 2025 we'll have a Congress who actually wants to help people instead of hinder everything. Then we can finally codify abortion rights for all Americans.

This seems to be an account that posts on Twitter as well. They mention “@VP” which doesn’t exist here.
I’d much rather follow someone like Kamala Harris. She’s the future.
