Honestly? If you’re still on Twitter at this point, that’s on you.
But I need it for my ________. There are simply no alternatives.
That's what they say.
I totally get the sentiment... But there are people that I can't get anywhere else.. mostly my local police, fire department, and local govt are only on xitter... Also heavily use for the national weather service, but if drumpy wins that will be going away.
The last couple days I've been investigating if any of those are on threads, so I can try find a way to follow them mastodon... But doubt they have their accounts enabled for the fediverse... But I'd also have to migrate my mastodon account to an instance that hasn't de-federated threads...
The thing is, they are there because the users are there. After all, they want to reach the most people with their important official messaging.
You have to leave to make them leave.
