If only the federal government could implement some sort of server that would allow them to self-host social media for officials and prominent candidates. I wish there were some well-known and tested service that other governments were using and they could just implement in the USA.
Sounds impossible! Does this technology even exist???
If they build it, will anyone come? Or does private social media only work because the user base is already scrolling endlessly there?
if they build it, the press will go there and report on what’s posted there
Newsies will go there for the announcements. That’s the wedge that keeps growing.
Not all growth strategies are just having the bandwagon.
Sigh. Not surprised… given that Musk is a hypocrite on free speech completely. It’s getting wild. I use this place now because after years of no issues… suddenly I’m shadow banned on Reddit. Instead of getting mad I just left. Screw those who would stifle others but pretend to believe the opposite.
Welcome to Lemmy!
Thank you, much appreciated

Reddit is far-right garbage run by radicals. Some instances on Lemmy are far-left garbage run by radicals, but you can route around them.
What are these fucking people doing on Twitter anyway? Why they hanging out with the Nazis? You’re still on Twitter this point I have some healthy suspicions about your character.
People go where they think the people are. X is still the closest thing to Twitter since Elon came along. I deleted my account, but feel like I’m in the minority.
You know I once read this really amazing book called They Thought They Were Free. It was written by a journalist right after World War II who went to Germany and talked to normal Germans just German citizens. About how they allowed Nazis to take over how they lived in a Nazi Society how they were okay with it how they kind of joined in on it. A lot of the things they said being said in this thread. It’s all the same fucking logic.

I tend to feel the same but at the same time, the shadowy figures involved there would love it to see the ratio of extremist increase. An exodus of more sane members might play straight into their hands.
That said, I can’t understand why anyone without an official state role is still on that platform.
This reminds me that someone set up a donation link via actblue where donations via that link come with the message that she and her campaign should set up their own mastodon server.
They are up to $40,000 as I type this.
So if you were thinking of donating anyway, you can go through here to point that money to a “cause” you want her to consider. May not happen, but at least we might get it on their radar.

The originator of this started with this Masto post:
Share this on !fediverse, this is a very good idea
This has the opportunity to be a great battle.
Harris, backed by Mastodon users vs Trump, backed by Twitter bots.
The VP having control over the platform they announce things?
What a novel idea /s
So dumb how much power twitter got for politics. Fediverse for life!
Nice, I did it through this portal. Thanks for sharing.
Who would have guessed that a social media platform owned by an apartheid-loving fascist would trend conservative?
Because the butthurt south african shitstain wont let them. Crybaby cannot abide differing ideas
I’m surprised she even has one, given that Musk would shadow ban it anyway. Seems like wasted effort.
Hm I deleted my twitter account last year. Maybe I’ll make a new one just to follow her

Over all I upvote posts if its something I would like to know about.
In this case its good to know that there was some limit issue that (as on the page say) is already resolved.
If it was intentionally done or not we will never know, but its good to know if it would happen again that there is some limit.
I upvote because:
- even if it was some wrongly implemented limit in this case, the shadow banning/hidding posts (or like in this case blocking follow) will happen in the future on all large platforms, it’s human nature to abuse it if you can get away with it
- I dont like big central platforms, I rather would like to have a transparent/open platform but I know it will never happen as servers costs money and people like “free” and convenient stuff so platforma will keep monetizing people activity
- if it could be even slightly true I rather have as many (affected) people know about it that there was an issue with follow and now it is resolved so they can retry to follow
I hope she isn’t a Zionist also…
Rheeeeeeee
