The fact that you can follow the president of the United States (@potus) 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.
@Gargron@potus If your instance is federated to #Threads, every time you make a post, you're essentially toiling Zuck's estate like a medieval serf. Zuck doesn't pay you. But your free labor pays him, in a sense, by increasing the value of #Meta.
