Thanks I hate it.
Also too bad that the White House has joined Meta, specifically, rather than the decentralized Fediverse, but libs gonna lib.
Would have been cool for them to host their own instance with just the one account
But open source software is communism! Much more on brand for the White House to go with Meta
Would make sense too, they don't use default Gmail either. Some other governments have Mastodon instances
Nah, give those National Parks posters a Mastodon account. Way more desirable than POTUS. Also put all those other random gov Twitter accounts on it so they can link somewhere that anyone can read.
Its a vague undulation in a direction I think most folks here would probably prefer?
That's kinda all you can realistically hope for a lot of the time
Realistically? The EU set up their own Mastodon server two years ago. Of course it's realistic for the White House to do the same.

I mean more in the broad sense- to hope that there's going to be any action at all towards something one personally likes.
My standards are pretty low I guess.
Funnily enough the instance my masto is on also uses that motto, tho for an entirely different reason
