Does Apple still not have any official accounts on Mastodon (or Bluesky)? Are they really still using X as their primary (only?) text-based social media platform? https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/26/apple-teases-a-big-week-ahead/
@siracusa I spent some time exploring whether there’s a viable indie business helping orgs that broadcast on X get set up on Mastodon and Bluesky. I was focused on state and local public agencies. What I learned is that the typical mid-size progressive city’s transit department doesn’t even know this is something they should consider. Maybe later this year?
(Apple, though? It boggles.)

@siracusa I suspect it is placating Elon/administration

@siracusa I really wish there was an interview where someone asks Cook directly about this. They’re so big all they need to do is put out press releases and not even be on any platform. Why do they choose to be on X and not kick it out of the App Store. I’d like to see him sweat a little defending this with follow up questions. The cherry on top would be seeing him defend going to that movie premier among other things. but sadly I know these things will never come up if someone interviewed him

@siracusa It is weird that even their Threads account is vacant.

@siracusa I’m not even certain there is any presence on Facebook /meta/ Threads/ Instagram.
I think like much of corporate America they thought they were one and done for social media presence back in the earlier days of Twitter when ‘Follow us on Twitter’ was the closing statement in every ad and news story.

@siracusa I'm kind of surprised they don't have a Threads account we can access through the platform’s Activity Pub integration.

@siracusa Next payment of the Danegeld: Tim switches Apple to Truth Social and makes it the number one recommendation on the app store.

@siracusa I'm half surprised they don't have a presence on Truth Social what with some of the weird pro-admin stuff they've been doing lately. (I assume they're not anyway, I suspect it'd make headlines if they were.)

@siracusa
I'd be surprised if they were on Mastodon. Sticking with Twitter tracks with their politics and priorities. -

@siracusa That’s Tim Cook’s Apple!

@siracusa it’s a shame. There is no reason to have an X account these days

@siracusa normies still use X. That’s the reason.

@siracusa I still have wide segments of things I follow that are primarily or only on X - lots of college sports related content, lots of F1 related content, things related to my work, my daughter’s college - some post across platforms but some don’t.
