What do you mean? Because everybody should be able to read what the chancellor writes.
Agreed. If someone sends me a twitter link, even if public, I can’t read it as my privacy settings are such that they can’t get a unique ID on me. It forces a log in. Which I can’t, and won’t do.
My colleague can view public tweets, even if not logged in, as we assume Twitter can uniquely identify them, even if not logged in.
I guess the question if why don’t they directly publish the content on the website without going through Twitter
Or just use a different platform? Other large public entities have, like the BBC, CBC etc.
Oddly enough there is a mastodon instance run by a German federal agency: https://social.bund.de/
No idea why the chancellor doesn’t use it.
My guess would be because of the reach? Like, Twitter has a lot of users and a lot of important figures in politics worldwide use it. Not that many people, both as in political figures, and small users use the Fediverse.
But then again, you could just do both.
What reach? He literally needs to repost them elsewhere so people can read them freely.
My guess would be because of the reach?
I use neither Mastodon nor Twitter (I’ve never understood the value of microblogging) but one of them is freely available, the other one is restricted. In my view – as someone who has no account on either platform and only occasionally goes there if it’s linked somewhere – Mastodon has a much wider reach.
tweets were on twitter.
On X it’s called x-crements.
X-eets and x-itter.
Use the Chinese pronunciation
Smart. Smarter would be not using X, but a lot of people still use X.
With how reliant governments are on privately owned social media platforms I sometimes feel some open source social media platform should be run as a public utility so that public communications are at the mercy of wealthy megalomaniacs though I don’t know how that would work in practice.

That’s great.
