smallerdemonTwitter was still an invaluable weather alert resource for me, despite having left Twitter a while back. Now with the current restriction of cutting off all public posts, I am curious how the National Weather Service both overall and at regional offices, are going to deal with the fact that they are essentially posting in a non-public forum now. I am lucky enough that some of the ones I follow have set up bots to cross post to Mastadon, but Twitter was certainly a great go-to resource for up-to-the-minute weather updates from my regional office and the national office.

Those offices are interested in reaching people - not internet politics. I recommend reaching out to them, and make them aware of some of the alternatives. The more people that do that, the more likely they will be to set up shop in those places.
I've convinced two organisations to join the Fed simply by reaching out. It's worth a shot!
Cheers!

M Pietila@smallerdemon Twitter and Facebook were still my only sources of local weather information outside of the NWS bot here. I'm really hoping that changes. #ORwx
