It is now painfully clear that no local government, state or federal agency, or other civic institution should be using Twitter for any purpose other than directing people to alternative platforms.

Using the platform for anything other than a last ditch backup for any kind of emergency communication is clearly a disaster waiting to happen.

@ct_bergstrom It’s losing a centralized place for nat’l and local Weather news that scares me. Before the sirens went off; before the thunder, wind, snow, rain, smoke started; before the local TV news were reporting bad weather … I could check Twitter for real-time current weather predictions. All those news orgs aren’t migrating away from Twit yet ⚡️🌪️❄️🌩️💨🌨️

@AnneFromMtka @ct_bergstrom From a purely technical perspective there’s no reason they couldn’t provide real-time updates on… tumblr is still running I think? They could use tumblr  or set up their own thing and join us here though I do worry about the propagation speed across the federation

@AnneFromMtka @ct_bergstrom These entities not having redundancy in their social communication channels is some sort of irony or joke. 🙃
