I had to look this up, couldn’t believe it. I’ve been pretty indifferent to Musk and Twitter…cause I’ve been always indifferent to Twitter, but this is crazy. As an example, my city’s police and bus services and others all use Twitter to send updates out. And I’m sure it’s the same for most places. And now they’ve essentially lost the ability to mass communicate with people, because they need to be able to reach everyone not just those with an account.
The problem is with your city’s public servants. Relying on something like Twitter was a huge mistake.
Until recently it was a great way to reach people in a way you can’t really do with any other platform.
But this day and age breaking TV broadcast doesn’t work for anyone under the age of 55 or so
Relying on a single service was a huge mistake. You can always diversify.

Sure, that’s easy to say. But name another free, publicly available, instant mass message delivery system they could also use?
Telegram, RSS, Email…
Take your pick
Usenet? It’s is still there, despite google’s attempts to absorb it.
Why’d you get downvoted when those are good alternatives?
All require the audience to be signed up. Twitter allowed users to broadcast. But yes, they are certainly functional alternatives.

I used Twitter for all my local updates - from what’s happening at city hall to live traffic and weather updates.
What’s up with CEO’s messing with social media companies. Huffman and Musk seem to enjoy ruining good things :(
Kinda stupid that a local government funded institution relies on a service from a private company to send out notifications
