      I think they will and the history books will say “In retrospect, having politicians use a privately owned platform to speak to their constituents was a bad call, as Traitor and Child Murderer Elon Musk demonstrated.”

        That’s an interesting way to say you don’t know what the fediverse is.

        It’s not…? It’s literally just another social media site, it doesn’t hook into ActivityPub or any cross-broadcast protocol. I don’t know why you’re throwing around the word “fediverse” here.

          Same for news organizations. Give the option for reporters that leave or join the organization to migrate their account (aka keep their followers).

          That way they provide a proof of authenticity for their reporters by being hosted on their Mastodon instance. Obviously, the instance shouldn’t let the public create an account there, only follow from another instance.

          It’s more to compare when one government interest (Trump / far right Republican) group creates a fediverse, and how just because it’s a fediverse instance doesn’t make it instantly good or infallible.
