  • You’re right! It would be awful if it was implemented in literally the worst way possible 🙄

    C’mon dude. I’m obviously not advocating for 1984 style government announcements forcefed into people’s eyeballs. Setting up a government only twitter-esque platform wouldn’t be that terrible. Hell, with something like Mastadon or Lemmy, it could integrate easily into what people are already using.


  • I’ve been constantly amazed at how normalized it’s gotten for not only other companies, but for governments, to rely so much on sites like Twitter, Facebook, etc, for essential information like Amber Alerts. Shit like this hopefully makes people more aware of how treacherous it is to rely on corporate services for public services. Maybe the gov will finally institute their own web services for public information (unlikely) or at least enact boundaries on services that have been widely adopted (slight more likely).
