I wish we weren't at a point where our public institutions exclusively use privately owned services for official announcements.

DCPS announced a two-hour delay. On Instagram. (Can't see the post without an account.)

Which I learned about through my school's Parent and Teachers United group. On WhatsApp.

DCPS has a webpage, but it's not on there.

A friend of mine is running for City Council, and if she wins I am going to personally lobby HARD for a city-wide focus on public institutions utilizing public digital infrastructure. DC can have its own ActivityPub service/server. Sure it can repost to private crap, but public first.
