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?

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
There is nothing wrong with politicans using mastodon, and they will start using it when ex-twitter statistically show losing popularity. However, the same rules apply for the politicans, as does anyone else. That’s why they’ll probably start creating their own instances for their parties. And luckily people can decide to not to follow them (god I hated twitter when there was any local, or American voting going on. The promotional spam was unhinged).
It’d be really nice if they clustered by instance. Then one could theoretically follow all politicians in their favorite party without having to look them up manually.
Quite precisely. This of course would cause a “bubble”, but would also preserve their unhinged posts for the media to highlight.
And if they come to something like mastodon.social, many will mix up human right violations as “just your everyday political opinions”, and get the boot, so it’s more handier for them, as a party, to curate what the party represents.
Only if they pay for their own instance.
Well, the EU dose so for quite a while but many aren’t using it jet!
Just look at the Turkey election, Twitter willingly cencored posts following corrupt cord orders! :(
Jfc, please don’t let them know it exists. There’s already too many people obsessed with politics on mastodon in particular.
They should. Also, just call it Twitter, because that’s what it is.
Trueth Social seems closer tbh, maybe the name change and clear cut from the past isn’t even that bad!
It’s more control over what your blog is and it’s important for businesses and agencies. Having .gov instances would make the grow and adoption spiral.
