    This is great. This is how it always should have been.

    Organization of any kind needs a Twitter page or subreddit? No, they need their own official, self-controlled Mastodon instance anyone can see and listen to and interact with, even without accounts on that specific instance. They need their own kbin or Lemmy instance to make and administer their community on and have control over, everyone can still participate even without signing up for accounts on that specific instance.

      You don’t see governments or companies using gmail, now do you. Well, small unprofessional companies do, but everyone else has a domain, website, mail server and all the usual internet infrastructure in place. Why should companies and governments use TweetBook or Snapstargram for official communication when they can host their own instance. For the time being, the problem has been that large majority of the people are using these unstable platforms, so companies decided to follow.

    I tried to start a Mastodon account, but I got the error message “Validation failed: time zone not included in list”

    Imagine a world where every government has its own instance.

    “Breaking News: North Korea has defederated from the United States, as well as hundreds of other countries.”

    Good, other governments should be doing this. (But even if they use threads instead, mastodon users’ll see their updates anyway if mastodon feds with it)

          I think it was posturing to the countries that banned Twitter.

          look, you get your own Threads in Iran.
