I'm confused why governments and public funded organizations are allowed to use social media platforms. They cannot control so much of the system.
But we do live in a world now where the president of the United States of America releases policy changes via thoughts and memes on his own social media platform..

Our local police posts really important updates on Twitter. I never see them because I don't use Twitter.
Guess I'll get murdered one day by someone considered armed and dangerous in the area, because I unknowingly approached them without calling the police. 😞

They're trying to meet citizens where they're at. The idea isn't completely without merit, but government—at all levels—should be treating these accounts as secondary while running primary accounts on their own infrastructure.

Right? Especially now that BSky and Threads are bridging to the Fediverse, it should be reasonable to have gov't run Mastodon instances.

They should just be posting shit on their websites. We still have web browsers. We don't need to be able to reply.

How about we make them pay taxes? I'll pay mine when they pay theirs.
