> Maybe I am missing something I think you're missing something. Think about it. Here is the White House's social media: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/blog/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/blog/ The US government is in the governing business. They are not a social media company and don't have the desire or resources required to become a social media company and attract the substantial user base they'd need to get people to pay attention. > Is there anything about the bureaucracy that stops their some small team to setup a Mastodon server on "social.whitehouse.gov" and make this a reality? I'm sure they've looked at doing that and probably decided that Mastodon is a relatively miniscule player and their efforts were better spent on the existing commercial social media platforms. And they presumably get Mastodon coverage by hopping on Threads. (if that promise ever came to fruition. I don't know because I don't pay attention to Mastodon anymore, aside from looking at their MAU stats.
