Dan GillmorRight now -- today -- would be a great day for some socially responsible philanthropy to support the migration from Twitter to the fediverse of all the organizations, such as the weather service, that realize they can no longer remotely rely on it to connect to the public.
Jesse@dangillmor I read a thread this morning (followers only unfortunately) that compellingly made the case that as irresponsible as it was to use Twitter, Mastodon isn't *that* much better for emergency alert functions, because there are so many points of failure. One step at a time, I know, and not every alert is an oncoming tsunami, but just putting it out there.
@dangillmor That said, we absolutely could use some philanthropic institutional help here. 🛟
