    Goverments should have their own fediverse instances and delete all their twitter accounts 🤷

      I think they will and the history books will say “In retrospect, having politicians use a privately owned platform to speak to their constituents was a bad call, as Traitor and Child Murderer Elon Musk demonstrated.”

            It literally has all the federation features removed. By definition it isn’t part of the fediverse, because it’s not federating anything

            If I set up my own mastodon server, but blocked literally all federation, then my server wouldn’t be part of the fediverse. It’s a bit odd that this has to be elaborated on

        It’s not…? It’s literally just another social media site, it doesn’t hook into ActivityPub or any cross-broadcast protocol. I don’t know why you’re throwing around the word “fediverse” here.

          It is a fork of Mastodon though, iirc. But I don’t think it federates with anything.

        This is a very strange comparison, considering Truth Social is not owned by any government.

            I don’t think @onlineperson meant this as “host their own social network”, but as “host their own micro-messaging platform to release news which is part of the fediverse”. This would make them resilient against PoS like Musk, while making their news accessible to a wide variety of users.

          Same for news organizations. Give the option for reporters that leave or join the organization to migrate their account (aka keep their followers).

          That way they provide a proof of authenticity for their reporters by being hosted on their Mastodon instance. Obviously, the instance shouldn’t let the public create an account there, only follow from another instance.
