    There are real risks with relying on a private company, owned by Elon Musk, as a channel for communications

    Damn right. Time to fire up a mastodon instance.

      The government really should be using Mastodon since it is decentralized and FOSS.

        bluesky

        Why? So the same thing can happen as with X? Jack Dorsey is yet another unhinged billionaire with problematic views of his own.

        Federation is the only answer.

          FYI Dorsey left Bluesky

          https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/5/24149543/jack-dorsey-gone-bluesky-board

          Currently Jay Graber is the CEO and has the largest ownership in Bluesky
