    Well, my main issue with Twitter is that it is used for official communications, and sometimes is the only medium that is used. To me, official communications should go through platforms that aren’t owned by a private company. This is where Mastodon/Firefish would be great alternatives, since governments or institutions could set up their own servers, while still being part of a wider network.

      Yeah, I found it crazy that Twitter was used for official communications (especially from governments) when it started, and still find it crazy now

        Especially since compared to the total population hardly anyone even uses Twitter. But pretty much everyone has access to a web browser.

        It was incredibly stupid to use Twitter like that considering your just given a 3rd party sensitive information and they have no incentive to keep that information secret

      Hey absolutely, it’s insane having oligarchs control our infrastructure. But even nationalisation is a better option than having these morons.
