All levels of government need to stop using that shit.
I don’t want to be forced to sign up to a man-child’s vanity project so I can get updates on emergencies.
There is literally no reason this can't be done with an RSS feed which is an open standard that has been around since 1999.
I work in local government. We post everywhere Neenah the information is important. Yeah, we have our own self-hosted feed, and we have a grand total of 7 non-employee/non-official subscribers versus thousands on Twitter and Facebook.
We go where the people are.
And it's easier than ever before for governments to host their own Mastodon instance on their government domain.
Which, to be clear, can also be followed without an account by just using the RSS feed of it.
It drives me nuts that it’s used for diplomacy too.
