Should politicians use mastodon instead of Twit… sorry… X? What do you think about it? I think if popular people (like politicians) start using fediverse, more people will become interested in this technology. If so, how do you convince them?
@mypasswordis1234 Politicians will not popularise the fediverse. If they are here, it is purely out of sheer interest. And that interest will never allow them to write, for example, on Facebook or Twitter “this is a toxic place - come try the fediverse with me”.
I think all officials should use it. Like they use emails: own domain (instance) + reachability/interactability for people without enforcing them to use service of specific company
I think we should see a complete shift to federated digital public discourse, rather than being locked in prisoners of somebody elses proprietary service. Including politics, civil society and the rest. Ive written some on the topic here.
