I have no idea if the account is what it says it is — the account isn’t verified (yet) — but I’m excited to see that NDP leadership candidate @avilewis is now here on Mastodon Canada. The account seems to have been created during last week’s big disruption on #mstdnca and I hadn’t notice it before a few minutes ago.
But if it *is* what it says it is, welcome to Mastodon, Team Avi! I’m thrilled to see you here!

@avilewis @chad I’m going to add that it looks to me like Team Avi has taken a thoughtful approach to joining Mastodon, and the Fediverse, so far.
⁃ Posting in both official languages
⁃ Well-crafted description/alt text on images and videos
⁃ Following (many) Canadians
⁃ Relevant (to me, anyway) posts
⁃ Favouriting posts by others (I got a couple, anyway)
What I still would like to see:
⁃ Mastodon-style account verification using https://lewisforleader.ca
⁃ At least a little interaction with accounts here , not just broadcasting
And one day in the future I'd like to see the NDP running their own server(s), but I think this has been a welcome and successful first step. Nice work, Team Avi!
