The one thing that bothers me about Twitter's collapse, and private ownership in general, is the number of public service announcements that come through the platform. Severe weather notices, other disaster information, traffic reroutes, etc. Twitter was the best platform for instant notification of this because of its ubiquitous public presence. The Fediverse can and should get there, but in the meanwhile, this Twitter nonsense can affect human lives. #TwitterDown
