Mastodawn

I’m seeing folks from #Sudan on #twitter despairing that the site’s new limits, and its general m*sk-era brokenness, will compromise their ability to stay updated on the catastrophe unfolding in their homeland and share emergency info.

Once more: mastodon/fediverse needs to think seriously about how to expand to users in Asia and Africa and how to handle emergencies #twitterdown

@abshlimon If setting up a server is as easy as many claim (I’ll take your word for it), perhaps someone knowledgeable can create a quick tutorial so that local government IT guys, whether in a small town in Texas or the Sudanese government can set up their own.
I mention local governments because Twitter crashing has taken a very valuable resource for quick and easy government messaging in emergencies. Running their own server would be better than having to depend on a tech bro.
