People that still use meta
What a bunch of losers
Considering that's how most cities get info out kinda makes sense people still use it. Not to mention good luck getting little ol' grandma to switch to signal or Lemmy
No one needs Lemmy. For Signal, just install it on her phone and text her. That's all it takes.
Public institutions would be better using something like Mastodon for announcements. They'd have the option to retain full control over their instance and citizens wouldn't need an account to access it.
Definitely. The problem is the worlds run by corpo fascists and they will do everything they can to maintain their control through tech.
If the right people are in the right positions though it becomes alot simpler to make happen.
Getting grandma on signal isn't to hard, Lemmy might be harder
network effect is strong
