This prompts a question... is there some administrative send-to-all toot functionality at the instance level to message all users in cases like this?

If not, it might be worthy of consideration for a future feature.

Hmm, an emergency alert system like they used to have for TV but broadcast to all of the fediverse 🤔

You know, like when Trump Nazi troops invade...

Hasn't he defunded that already?

I truly don't know how desirable something like that would be, but then again, these are unprecedented times. No harm in putting the question out there for a bit of thought.
