"a milestone for the open web"
You think threads.net is the open web? FFS the president can and does have press releases typed up and posted to a government web server that anyone can read and link to. That's posting to the open web.
@artemesia I think you actually know exactly the point I’m making
No, I don't, and I don't regard walled gardens as any kind of open web. Do you?
The president's threads posts being copied to the fediverse is just effectively an RSS feed. You want a real milestone for the fediverse? How about the white house sets up their own mastodon instance, accounts available only to white house staff, like the BBC did.
@artemesia I expect they will.
