President Joe Biden’s Threads account @potus is federating on the Fediverse!
And I’m following him from atomicpoet.org!
Wow! This is as monumental as Barack Obama joining Twitter! A truly historic day for the #Fediverse!
@atomicpoet @fediversenews Not the least bit pleased they are on the facebook fork.
@TheJen @fediversenews You would think that the U.S. government would run their own Fediverse server. But it is what it is.
@atomicpoet @fediversenews Well, yeah. Obviously. Lol.
@Rairii @atomicpoet @fediversenews If they can be on Twitter, they can be here.
@Rairii @atomicpoet @TheJen @fediversenews The EU have their own #fediverse server and are having no problems: https://social.network.europa.eu
@atomicpoet @TheJen @fediversenews
They're working on it. They are also building out an online repository for federal reports/journals /scientific info.
@CassandraVert @atomicpoet @fediversenews With Library of Congress? Or separate?
@TheJen @atomicpoet @fediversenews
Not the normal Library of Congress material. It's the stuff they were putting into commercial repositories for academic papers. They seem to be going by dept/area, so you can find some locally already, but not all. I don't know if the new repository is considered part of the Library of Congress.
@CassandraVert @atomicpoet @fediversenews Interesting. Thank you.
