Europe could put quite some weight behind open social media if they would put official accounts like x.com/bundeskanzler on bundestag.de/@bundeskanzler instead.

Similar to https://www.threads.net/@potus https://www.threads.net/@potus but truly open by tying it to a government controlled domain.
I think ActivityPub supports putting a "look over there for the actual content" file on a domain, so that technically all you have to do is put a static file on the domain. And then you can use an external service to publish your content.

- johannes1234321 2y ago> bundestag.de/@bundeskanzler in That's wrong. The Bundeskanzler is not part of the Bundestag but part of the constitutional body Bundesregierung. Anyways: https://social.bund.de/exists https://social.bund.de/exists and is used by many authorities. Trouble is: They want to be where an audience is.
- blitzar 2y agoThe only rational project for governments etc in this space to do would be in the cross posting space (with audit trail of what / where / authorisation etc) with a single source of truth on the authoring side. Given the point is to disseminate information it is all about where the audience is, and increasingly the audience is in multiple places and certainly not where privacy folks are.
- rglullis 2y ago> Trouble is: They want to be where an audience is. The indieweb answer for this is POSSE. You stop chasing the audience and you get to be in control of your main communication channels.
- johannes1234321 2y agoThat is good - in theory. But your if political opponent is strong in the populated corners and you got no visibility it's not a good situation for your campaign.
