The Social Security Administration (SSA) unveiled Thursday that it would use the social platform X to make announcements going forward, instead of traditional press releases or memos typically posted to the agency’s website.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Titty-fucking Christ, even
Jesus Tap dancing Christ
This was the exact phrase I uttered when I saw the headline.
Fucking Musk needs to GO. He needs to get removed there.
Wtf, are they serious?
They’ve been saying this for other fed agencies from the get go so, yes?
dude…i am disabled and receive ssi… I don’t want an account on X??? wtf?
wow really hoped this was just the onion fucking with me again
So they’re still following the steps in Creating a Fascist Regime for Dummies, how surprising.
Kind of crazy to me that governments aren’t massively interested in hosting their own fediverse instances. It has huge appeal of providing announcements on a broader platform while also controlling your instance and still being from a .gov source.
Need a government bill forcing all federal comms like this to go over the government’s own federated instance (with RSS please).
Aren’t X and Truth Social competitors? Shouldn’t they be greasing DJT instead of Musk?
As embarrassing as this is, if this bit of appeasement even slightly diminishes the damage they’re going to do to the SSA then I’m okay with it.
What is this a fetish account?
