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?

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

All require the audience to be signed up. Twitter allowed users to broadcast. But yes, they are certainly functional alternatives.
