Comment on People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account

Political parties should host their own mastodon instances, and give their members accounts. Companies should do the same. It removes all the problems of imitation because the organisation stands as guarantor that the account is the official one.

That’s actually a pretty good idea

I’m not sure on the capabilities of Mastodon. But companies will never go for this if Mastodon doesn’t support saml or active directory (or other Auth systems). It needs to integrate with their enterprise tools.

  I think you are confusing server-server protocol and client-server protocol.

    I’m not sure how that applies here.
    
    I am talking about enterprises being able to leverage their current infrastructure to manage their users in Mastodon from a central location, Like AD. Rather than have to manage local accounts.
    
    I am not talking about activitypub in anyway.

    I’m talking about that too. Mastodon should work just fine with SSO.

  There are several mastodon servers that have different feature sets. What you’re saying is like “email must support AD”. Well some email server might do that and another wouldn’t.
