   Exactly what @Gargron says!

   Governments should not rely on Threads for connecting to the Fediverse. It would be far better for them to run on their own servers. Ideally, I’d prefer to follow @potus@whitehouse.gov (which doesn’t exist right now) than @potus.

   But last week, Joe Biden was not on the Fediverse. Now he is. This is a huge win and will result in further migration here.

   This is neither ideal nor perfect – but it’s better than it was last week.

     @atomicpoet @Gargron exactly. I think the future for both governments and organizations is running an instance, similar to running a website. It’s already started to happen in the EU. These will soon be followable in Threads as well as any other activitypub app. We need products and services for making this more manageable. I.e. we need something like Wordpress or Squarespace for the #activitypub so orgs can readily build and manage instances on the social web.
