Which goes to show that if you are a public figure whether in politics, entertainment, or otherwise, owning your own server for social media instead of relying on Zuck and Musk should be a critical concern at this point.
There is no reason for the Harris campaign to not dip their toe into federated social media at this point given Musk's antagonism towards them.
And it's so cheap to run. The only reason it's not as worth is the limited reach and impact. But if main political figures would adopt it, the users and journalists would certainly come.
Can you post snippets of mastodon posts on websites like you can tweets?
You mean embedding posts or something else? https://fedi.tips/how-to-embed-mastodon-posts-on-a-website/
But isn't that inherintly dangerous? I don't exactly trust any random fedi server to embed it in my website.
Kind of, in that embedding anything from a site you can’t trust is inherently risky, but I’d say it’s not actually that bad, for two reasons:
- iframes are much better sandboxed than they once were, and are much safer now than their reputation suggests
- you probably wouldn’t be embedding from any old instance; I assume you could embed from an instance you use and trust as long as the post is federated to it
No surprise.
Why is anyone still on, "The Social Media Platform Formerly Known As Twitter" ?
Its still twitter. You can't take the twit out as long as a twit owns it.
Preaching to the choir.
elon is just mad he's stuck with the painfully dull dud jd vance
Ew I. Accidently clicked on a twitter link I ieel so dirty
What do they even expect? They know who’s site they are using.
The remaining users are 100% in denial that it's a Nazi website now.
Nah a lot of them are just actual Nazis.
