A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Wouldn't it have been better to just selhost an instance? Like, they'd have more control...
Like somebody already said, this is like president@hotmail.com
Last elections we had in Spain, candidates would use TikTok... 😒
I guess they can't help themselves
You have to go where the people are.
@MayonnaiseArch yep, exactly. I mean, if @EU_Commission did it, why could they not do it for Christ's sake!!!
Maybe we should sell a blue checkmark on that
Oh there is. So all is well! Right? (Forgot where I stole that image from. Somewhere on here, though.)
@AGuyAcrossTheInternet well, we know from the article that the first result is the official account. The second is a bird site bridge, but wtf is the third one?!?
Sounds like an advantage to me..
You do realise, a self hosted instance can federate with threads, its just an awful idea for the longevity of fedi
Or at least go for bluesky.
Bluesky uses a non-standard protocol and isn't really federated yet.
@thingsiplay are you referring to the credibility of the information itself? That does not depend on this. They can say whatever they want, whether the server is self hosted or not.
The credibility of the information is given by those who verify what these people said.
