Barack Obama (@barackobama) is on the Fediverse!
How cool is that?!

  @barney @fediversenews I define the Fediverse as anything that federates with ActivityPub. And nope, this is not up for discussion. 😊

  Isn't that a Threads account, rather than one in the Fediverse?

  @barney @atomicpoet @fediversenews It's actually because your instance admin decided that you don't have a vote on whether or not the instance federates with threads.
  AKA, your instance is blocking threads "for you"....🤦♂️

  Wow, hey, I totally missed this! But... I don't seem to be able to follow @barackobama@threads.net. Is that because he didn't opt in to sharing his posts with the Fediverse? Or is it because my server is located outside of the US?

  @BeAware @atomicpoet @fediversenews
  Well, I'm only beginning to dip my toe into the issues here, but... my admin spends a lot of their own time and money running my instance, and they don't even charge me for using it. I choose to make donations, but they don't require or even know that I do. So, from their perspective, my account is nothing but a burden for them.
  That being the case, I don't think they really owe me a vote on how they handle threads. Of course I'm free to migrate if I want.

  @barney @atomicpoet @fediversenews Glad you have a good perspective on it.
  Most wouldn't feel the same, I feel.

  @atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org @barney@mas.to @fediversenews@venera.social Worth noting mas.to admin recently announced their plan is to move from defederatin to just limiting threads.net: https://mas.to/@trumpet/112212159528724033

    A THREAD ON THREADS! I’m receiving lots of questions about our position on federation with Threads and realised I haven’t posted on this subject for a while. We have lots of users who do want to federate with Threads, and lots of users who don’t. It’s my job to find a good solution that works for everyone. Our position has always been to start from a defensive stance due to our technical and moderation concerns. So what sort of solution do we think might keep (almost) everyone happy? 1/3

  @barney @fediversenews It’s because mas.to has de-federated Threads. If you want to follow him or Joe Biden, you’ll need to migrate to a server that federates with Threads.
