Should politicians use mastodon instead of Twit… sorry… X? What do you think about it? I think if popular people (like politicians) start using fediverse, more people will become interested in this technology. If so, how do you convince them?

I think all officials should use it. Like they use emails: own domain (instance) + reachability/interactability for people without enforcing them to use service of specific company
No! They will try to pass some legislation that bans anyone who doesn’t have an instance licence from hosting an instance and demand free speech absolutism
It’s more control over what your blog is and it’s important for businesses and agencies. Having .gov instances would make the grow and adoption spiral.
I think we should see a complete shift to federated digital public discourse, rather than being locked in prisoners of somebody elses proprietary service. Including politics, civil society and the rest. Ive written some on the topic here.

@mypasswordis1234 Politicians will not popularise the fediverse. If they are here, it is purely out of sheer interest. And that interest will never allow them to write, for example, on Facebook or Twitter “this is a toxic place - come try the fediverse with me”.
