    You can consider it bought and paid for propaganda, but people were still getting some emergency services ONLY over Twitter (yes, dumb, but they don’t really get to pick where their city hosts that info)

    In that same vein, there is presence and there are people and getting the message to as many people as possible is the point. They should even post on 4-chan while they’re at it, to keep it broad.

      Any actual emergency service relying on social media has bigger problems. Shitter is not essential.

        I’m not saying it’s essential, I’m saying you’re needlessly limiting your reach by NOT using it to communicate for outreach. Shitty platform, shitty people, shitty creators/owners, shitty advertisers, shitty business practices, still a place people are at numbers HIGHER than most of our favorite federated platforms. So, to not use it when your goal is to reach as many people as possible, seems counterproductive.

      Lol you’re still parroting the tired excuse that there’s some supremely important, earth stopping information being posted to Twitter, and we all die without it. Get real. It legitimately sounds like an addiction. I’m not being funny, it legitimately sounds like an addiction.
