I have a long commute in and out of a large city. Since I spend so much time on the road, I always try to get the details of Amber Alert notifications to be on the lookout for vehicles used in abductions. I guess I can't do that anymore since Twitter requires an account to see Amber Alerts. Hopefully my state finds another platform to post them.
This is why governments should stop relying on private companies and start setting up their own fediverse servers which they will have full control over.
I didn't even consider the fact that the fediverse offers us the ability to start having publicly owned social media and government-run instances for direct communication.
That could be very interesting...
Most governments struggle to manage a website, much less a fediverse instance. It’s a good idea though.
But at least instead of coding their own awesome website, they just have to spin up an instance using someone else's code....
Yeah okay fine. I can see many ways one can mess this up.
Various EU agencies have already set up their own Mastodon instances and are pretty active in the fediverse.
