 I understand and sympathize with the Manhattan Borough president trying to get public agencies to invest in building a following in places other than X, but advocating for it to happen on Threads without even acknowledging that this just puts them at the whims of a *different* private company seems shortsighted at best.

Does he simply not know the fediverse exists, I wonder?

 @ca5977db I would personally love them to be here too but I do sympathize that they need to be thinking about where they can reach the most people… Plus being diversified onto two platforms at least feels like a step in the right direction 
 @ca5977db Well, it is reasonable for them to go to platforms that have a larger share of their constituents. 
 @ca5977db posted in as many places as possible. 
X should be the last considered.
