        @AGuyAcrossTheInternet well, we know from the article that the first result is the official account. The second is a bird site bridge, but wtf is the third one?!?

  Yes but then they couldn’t post to Threads. Which is where far more people are, unfortunately.

    @thingsiplay are you referring to the credibility of the information itself? That does not depend on this. They can say whatever they want, whether the server is self hosted or not.

    The credibility of the information is given by those who verify what these people said.
