    Mastodon instances need to defederate.

    If you want to comment on any POTUS posts with the broader user base, you have to download Threads. removed that noise.

      That would be like Gmail blocking Yahoo, it defeats the purpose of a Fediverse especially when users can already block content from domains they dislike.

        First of all, no it doesn’t. The fediverse is about servers communicating with each other, that doesn’t mean all servers, it just means that multiple servers communicate, and if a server is being problematic it will be blocked or limited, as another example a good amount of servers limit or block Mastodon.social and due to spam issues. Threads in this regard is no different, it just so happens to be a much bigger problem than Mastodon.social hence why there is much stronger efforts to defederate it.

        especially when users can already block content from domains they dislike.

        No, you are deliberately or unintentionally misrepresenting how domain blocks and indeed blocking in general works in Lemmy (Domain blocks target communities and do not hide users or their content), and even with Mastodon this doesn’t solve the biggest problems with threads, that being the extremely poor moderation and the EEE threat which are server wide problems and not user preference issues.

        No, big corp with millions of users they cannot moderate defeats the purpose of a fediverse.

      Don’t you love how the government is supporting private for-profit businesses? I received an amber alert 2 days ago and when I clicked the link it took me to Twitter. I don’t have a Twitter account and the page wouldn’t load. What in the actual removed? Our government is using a website run by an insane man-child for critical infrastructure.

            Your state or county is probably using what was identified as an easy and accessible solution several years ago. It was probably selected because it was something any yahoo could easily access and post to.

            Now that there are a lot of cheap and easy FOSS alternatives, it probably wouldn’t be too hard to petition for a ballot initiative that required these alerts to be published on a state masto instance or something.

      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? 🙄

        For an account like this, who cares? It’s a one way flow of PSA type announcements anyway, not like Biden or his team would engage.

        If I want to start a discussion about one of those posts, I’d do it on lemmy somewhere I suppose.

    Calling him Genocidal of the United States (GOTUS) makes it sound like he is the only one, so i proprose Genocidal in Charge of the United States (GICOTUS)
