The beauty of the federated platform is that you get to choose the version of the person you want to follow: would you rather follow the President Biden on Threads, or the President Biden on Femboy Breeding College? It's a multiple choice question.

Of course, it's probably best if the US government setup their own domain like mastodon.whitehouse.gov if they really cared to have an official account that they have full control over.

What is a potus?

And why would a president use fucking threads but not a normal server? Liability?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Maybe its cause its corporate backed instead of some guys? As in, they have tech support and people to sue.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

It's putos backwards or something. I don't know spanglish

What is a potus?

It stands for something, like Piece Of Titanic Unethical Shit I can't remember.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 7 months ago

There is also FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States), or if you were me hearing that for the first time, you thought it was a shortened name for Flying Lotus.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I could see the old man making his account
"Breeding college? I'm a big supporter of American agriculture."

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The news for context.

Missed opportunity to make a President Birden acc tbh

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Huh, why would one make up a bird? A reference to the memespiracy theory that birds don't exist?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You've got it all wrong: it's an instance dedicated to discussion and advice regarding cosmetics for birds.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

This was my first thought. Or just referring to women as "birds".

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (3 children)

listen here bucko

don't call it a conspiracy theory

it's confirmed, just do your research

have you ever seen a bird? Like really see it up close?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I... I saved a baby birds life a couple years ago. It passed the baby bird Turing test. Squeek squeek.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Back in the day I used to store a skeleton of one under my bed; twas quite funny when my parents found it. Also, a few of those flew into my face when I was retrieving it. Does that count?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

nice try fed

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I’ve only ever seen a bird up-close to replace its AAA battery.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

AAA? Sheesh! How old is that bird? The ones I've dealt with all use 10150 lithium.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This guy birds.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

This bird, guys.

Are any of these accounts legitimate?

[–] [email protected] 252 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As can be clearly seen by the legitimacy indication hyper checkmark super check, only the last one is legit.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 7 months ago (2 children)

"breed me daddy Biden uwu~"?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

No, it's the other way around

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I hope you are all happy with yourselves.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Aren't we all constantly unhappy with ourselves anyways?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

I know I am.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The last one has the verification symbol

No seriously, I the the first is his real account and the second is a Twitter clone

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The Twitter clone is just copying his tweets from Twitter. So you can be relatively sure, that the content is also real.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 7 months ago (1 children)

would be really fucking funny tho if they just posted some fake tweets from time to time

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

ah, yes: salting for improved security, i've heard that before!
