How about avoiding commercial platforms when it comes to vitally important official communication?

[-] e_mc2@feddit.nl 20 points 7 months ago

Problem is that no noncommercial platform would ever have the same coverage as a commercial one like X. People simply would not see the necessity to install it until it's too late.

Could always go the route of an amber alert-like system being primary and then pipe the same msg to their secondary commercial platforms (like X). I'm not privy on the details but it sounds irresponsible to rely on X primarily/solely.

That's what they're doing, Twitter/X is only redundancy

Oh nice this sounds less worse than it seems then

I bet they spam that message through every medium they can - TV, radio, loudspeakers, phone alert, text, traffic signs, all the social media platforms.
