Trusting #Twitter with any important corporate, organizational, emergency or other public service functions is like trusting Donald Trump to pay his bills. Only far worse.

@lauren
#MuskRat will say if it's that important pay (him) for it.
Nope. Fuck that guy.

@lauren Or like trusting twitter to pay its bills. 😶

erv,

@lauren I agree with this but it’s hilarious how people keep saying this only now, after the fact. For years nobody told these corporations, companies NOT to do this.

lispi314,

@erv @lauren I've been saying for as long as it has been a thing.

We have #RSS, #Atom and all the #WebFeed infrastructure for a reason.

Corposcum need not apply.

@lispi314 @erv I get most of my news from RSS and keep an Inoreader window open most of the time. That said, RSS is really a nonstarter for most nontechies, and the only reason it's really still around is because Wordpress generates RSS feeds by default. Many site owners probably don't even know they have them.

lispi314,

@lauren @erv That sounds more like a UI problem @ normies than a fundamental blocker.

@lispi314 @erv Either way, it's the reality.

lispi314,

@lauren @erv Yes, but the important part is that non-fundamental blockers are addressable problems.

@lauren It's like putting your emergency response center in the Trade towers.
