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!
I would prefer that @potus run his own Fediverse server but this is materially better than him not being on the Fediverse at all.

> @potus has pretty much forced the hand of the Fediverse to federate with Threads.
Nonsense. I'm perfectly capable of receiving the president's messaging via other means, of which there are hundreds.
The threads.net domain will remain blocked by my account. I want nothing to do with a company that sold out its userbase to russia to influence the 2016 election.
@artemesia Sure, you don’t have to follow @potus and you can block Threads. But the bulk of the Fediverse is federating with Threads and will likely continue to federate with it.

It seems very important to you to get your message of inevitability out. My own instance is taking a wait and see attitude, and expect they are not alone.
