     @aral I'm actually writing a blog post arguing that public institutions should start seeing the Fediverse as the ideal publishing platform for sharing communications with their constituents.

     @aral At least for Twitter, this is not true. Yeah, the page exhorts you to create an account - but it *does* show the post. At least on desktop; maybe it's different on mobile.

     @aral Your screenshot is from mobile, mine is from desktop. That's why I supposed that the two may be offering different kinds of access.

     @bontchev Yep. And it’s possible they have heuristics for when they show the doorslam and when they don’t.
