@FediTips This is one of the reasons I’d like to see public service departments post more on Mastodon. They argue that they need to be where the audience is.

But do they consider that on platforms like Facebook or Instagram their posts might simply not show up? Does it matter that the audience is there if you can’t reach them?

It’s not problematic only for the institutions but the society as a whole.

Government departments & public services should probably also have to provide RSS (or similar) feeds that can be easily fed into any internet platform. That would futureproof their ability to provide info no matter what happens in the online world, and give citizens freedom to choose any online social platform.

@FediTips @androcat That's a good point. I had to check and my hometown's website has had an RSS feed set up for their front page news for over 20 years.

It's a technology I often forget exists.
