Eugen RochkoThe fact that you can follow the president of the United States (@[email protected]) from your Mastodon account instead of being forced to have an X or Threads account for it is a huge W in my book. Of course our team is fully available to help if they'd want to set up Mastodon on whitehouse.gov. I believe governments should not rely on 3rd party platforms to connect with their constituents.
Benjamin Kwiecień 🇵🇸@Gargron I think there's a long way to go yet before this becomes a true success. I am running #GoToSocial, which implements Mastodon's API. Apparently Threads' standards compliance is so poor that GoToSocial cannot even federate with it. I agree with you that if the government wanted to self-host Mastodon, that would be a step in the right direction.
