      You’re right. But, the Fediverse is ActivityPub, and Threads is using ActivityPub, therefore Threads is part of the Fediverse.

      The beauty of the Fediverse is you can defederate from whoever you want. But don’t confuse that with thinking that you can change the definition and rules of what the Fediverse is.

    I like how his name is “President Joe Biden” as if not to be confused with the other Joe Biden. Also this insinuates that he is the president of Threads, or the Fediverse, or even the world maybe?

      That’s standard for the potus account. The name changes to who is current and that’s the channel used for presidential statements*. A president still has their own account, not named as president, and is used for personal statements.

        Ah I see, understandable. Still it’s presented like he’s the universal/everyone’s president.

          I don’t know why you are getting downvoted. He is definitely not my president, I am not from that country!

            Because it’s his title. Regardless of where you live.

            We still say King Charles or President Macron.
