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.
The government using it for bulletins, especially for emergency announcements, is such ridiculous bullshit. Like what in the actual fuck?
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.
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.
