    And this is where the fediverse could really shine. Forget Twitter, Facebook, and what have you, spin up an official instance of Lemmy, Mastodon, or whatever, and put official notices on there. Build tools that will automatically propagate those onto previous platforms for those that actually use them - summaries and web links would be enough, and also drive people to the new systems in a low-pressure way. After all, it’s not like you need an account to open the links like you may with the other social platforms.

      And Mastodon offers RSS feeds out of the box, allowing anyone to subscribe to an account without requiring an account.

          Just so I am clear, you almost wrote a comment in good faith for the betterment of the community, but the mere sight of a particular arrangement of letters flipped some kind of switch that made you think it would be worthwhile for the community to see an off-topic, bad faith ramble that means nothing?

            And if recognition of your name wasn’t enough to identify you as a troll, your subsequent follow-up nailed that coffin shut.
