I could see the old man making his account
"Breeding college? I'm a big supporter of American agriculture."

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 53 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Are any of these accounts legitimate?

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 252 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As can be clearly seen by the legitimacy indication hyper checkmark super check, only the last one is legit.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 58 points 7 months ago (2 children)

"breed me daddy Biden uwu~"?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I hope you are all happy with yourselves.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Aren't we all constantly unhappy with ourselves anyways?

[–] tpyoman@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

I know I am.

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

No, it's the other way around

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 61 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The last one has the verification symbol

No seriously, I the the first is his real account and the second is a Twitter clone

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 31 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The Twitter clone is just copying his tweets from Twitter. So you can be relatively sure, that the content is also real.

[–] twei@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 7 months ago (1 children)

would be really fucking funny tho if they just posted some fake tweets from time to time

[–] knorke3@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

ah, yes: salting for improved security, i've heard that before!

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 45 points 7 months ago

Weird way to spell blahaj

[–] rollingflower@lemmy.kde.social 32 points 7 months ago (5 children)

What is a potus?

And why would a president use fucking threads but not a normal server? Liability?

[–] histic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 7 months ago

because the US loves relying on private companies

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 28 points 7 months ago (1 children)

President Of The United States

[–] rollingflower@lemmy.kde.social 16 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Lol wtf that sounds so dumb

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 18 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Not as dumb as the SCOTUS (supreme court of the united states)

[–] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 10 points 7 months ago

There is also FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States), or if you were me hearing that for the first time, you thought it was a shortened name for Flying Lotus.

Supreme Court Representative Of The United States

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

Yeah. It should be Presidental United States Serving Incumbent.

[–] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I thinkbits an abbreviation 🤷‍♀️

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

It's putos backwards or something. I don't know spanglish

[–] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 4 points 7 months ago

Maybe its cause its corporate backed instead of some guys? As in, they have tech support and people to sue.

[–] mojo_raisin@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

What is a potus?

It stands for something, like Piece Of Titanic Unethical Shit I can't remember.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 25 points 7 months ago

The beauty of the federated platform is that you get to choose the version of the person you want to follow: would you rather follow the President Biden on Threads, or the President Biden on Femboy Breeding College? It's a multiple choice question.

Of course, it's probably best if the US government setup their own domain like mastodon.whitehouse.gov if they really cared to have an official account that they have full control over.

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 24 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Huh, why would one make up a bird? A reference to the memespiracy theory that birds don't exist?

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago (3 children)

listen here bucko

don't call it a conspiracy theory

it's confirmed, just do your research

have you ever seen a bird? Like really see it up close?

yah dint think so

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 17 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I’ve only ever seen a bird up-close to replace its AAA battery.

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] numberfour002@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

This bird, guys.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 1 points 7 months ago

AAA? Sheesh! How old is that bird? The ones I've dealt with all use 10150 lithium.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I... I saved a baby birds life a couple years ago. It passed the baby bird Turing test. Squeek squeek.

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Back in the day I used to store a skeleton of one under my bed; twas quite funny when my parents found it. Also, a few of those flew into my face when I was retrieving it. Does that count?

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

nice try fed

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You've got it all wrong: it's an instance dedicated to discussion and advice regarding cosmetics for birds.

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

This was my first thought. Or just referring to women as "birds".

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 13 points 7 months ago
[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

Missed opportunity to make a President Birden acc tbh

[–] Suoko@feddit.it 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is the "other blonde guy" with his gab network also federated?

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 2 points 7 months ago
