until the channel is not bidirectional, what's the point ?

this is an excellent example of how to do things wrong. The White House has the resources to set up its own Fediverse nodes. That it doesn't and instead endorses a proprietary platform is borderline criminal.

@oblomov Threads has said they fully intend to bring account portability (and so far they've kept their word on other federation features), so this is a good test for if the White House should build out a federating platform. If Fediverse isn't interested in @potus why should they even bother to build @potus@whitehouse.gov? To be clear, I hope they do build the functionality and even migrate followers from Threads.

There have been Public Record lawsuits about public officials blocking users, i.e. on Twitter.

The White House not setting up its own instance means it's selectively blocking voices of nonMeta users, & only choosing to let comments made by Meta users be seen, correct?

It's one thing if an instance were to block a White House instance, it's another if Potus sets up where an instance can't be heard even if it wants to be heard (just not via a Meta account).

Threads federation is still in beta (and not even 2 weeks old) but their team has declared their intent to be a first class Fediverse participant that will federates replies. I think their effort to ship quickly and iteratively is both refreshing and encouraging because they've shown a strong willingness to take and use feedback. That POTUS would jump in during the beta is honestly amazing. Replies will come, but it does stink to not have them. Beta life problems!

@codybrom @msfast anybody still trusting anything promised by Meta deserves all the bad that is going to come. Too bad they'll drag anytime that was wise enough to know better with them.

@oblomov Give the guy a break, he’s busy funding/arming a genocide.

@oblomov sadly it's entirely in line with the longstanding US government policy of openly aligning with and subsidising American business interests at the expense of the broader public and wider world.
