Oddbean new post about login | logout Look at that. You can now follow Joe Biden on Nostr* npub1wx6m0vmakggyq0v2jyykshe522nssh7zh8x3hz94eesmnkrs22ksd4558r * It’s his official account on Threads coming to Nostr via mostr.pub’s two way gateway.
Let's Go Brandon
But we won’t see Trump from Truth Social, it’s built on @Alex Gleason code, and could federate but Trump’s people decided against it. So we only get Biden vis Meta’s Threads.
Is this a good thing, @rabble?
Sure, Nostr is part of team open protocols. We win as we grow. Lots of Nostr users won’t want to follow him, but imagine being able to do campaign donations via zaps.
Campaign donations with zaps is nice. Spam notes asking for donations is not good. Or worse spam DMs. ☹️
Lets light his ass up y'all 😆
Interesting
He’ll probably lose his private key soon anyway, it’s been a very smooth transition into senility for him 😂
😂 Doubt it though. His account is probably managed by the Office of the Press Secretary. Donald Trump is probably the only president who (stupidly) ran his mouth on social media freely.
Ya and...? Tik tok... Next block
Do our posts show up on Threads?
Apparently yes: https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/21/networking-traffic/threads-has-entered-the-fediverse/ But I’m pretty sure @71b5b7b3 doesn’t read the comments, or even actually do his own posts.
That threads account seems to have many more posts than the npub. Is the gateway not forwarding everything. https://www.threads.net/@potus
I think the gateway misses things. What do know about this @Alex Gleason ?
