Honestly, this is a pretty clear case where federation should win out. I answered someone above, but governments using a private service like twitter for actual public announcements imo is broken. I hope that Mastodon and federated services take off and turn into a turnkey style service somewhere. Like, setting up your own Mastodon (or Lemmy!) instance I hope turns into something just about as easy as setting up an email account.
I feel sympathy for the people who are required to use it for work. Most users could quit it and replace it with Mastodon, though.
I tried deleting my twitter just now.
The website is abysmally slow. I genuinely think they are throttling their deactivate account page to try stop users from leaving en masse.
That or else the site is not functioning correctly after Musk’s optimizations’
