Which will literally fall on deaf ears. Mastodon is the in vogue thing but we’ve done all this before with RSS feeds. The simple reality is that people didn’t use them.

The government are meeting people where they are rather than making people come to them. Which in situations like a wildfire is exactly what you should be doing.
