    Individual countries should start seizing twitters servers and running their own local version that anyone in the world can participate in.

    This way they can insure mongrel trash like musk can’t interfere with emergency notices.

      No need to seize anything. Deploy a Government Mastodon instance and run a PSA informing the public that the Mastodon is the official channel for emergency communications.

        Germanys government has a own mastodon instance up and running. And while different institutions moved away from Twitter over there, citizen do not follow because “there is nobody using mastodon I know” or “mastodon is too complicated”

          People don’t need to use it as their micro-blogging platform, they just need to know that a site like govern.xy is the authoritative source of alerts. Mastodon’s default timeline for non-logged visitors is simple enough for visitors to understand and get the information they need.
