Like the white house, department of homeland security, and others before them, the account will get no traction and be ignored. It is currently working really well on bluesky.
When they mandate visibility a la Twitter, that is the problem. But they don’t.

Apparently you slept through the part where mainstream social media did try to censor, ban, and deplatform that dictator’s supporters, and it backfired.
I mean, Twitter literally banned Donald Trump, and he just started his own Twitter clone. Mainstream social media banned COVID disinformation and now we have an anti-vaxxer running the US Department of Health. Probably hundreds of thousands of people got deplatformed for claiming the 2020 elections were stolen, and more people now believe Trump won in 2020 then they did in 2021.
And even if the technocrat hyperbillionaires running US social media change their tune under a Democrat administration (if we ever get another Democrat administration) and start censoring “fascist misinformation”, who’d trust them to stick to that? They’ve already proven they’re willing to censor whatever the government wants censored.

I see what you’re saying and you make a good point honestly.
