A motion to cut ties with the social media site failed at committee, keeping the city accounts active despite concerns over misinformation.

      That’d be awesome, but I’m not holding my breath on it being something Suxcliffe pays any mind to.

      I’m just dreaming now, but what I’d love to see is the City enter a partnership with a non-profit like National Capital Freenet to set up and maintain the technical infrastructure for federated communication tools. But a) don’t know if that’s something NCF is interested in or even has the capacity to support, and b) it’s never gonna happen anyway.

          I mistakenly read “willing” as though it was an option they were considering 😮‍💨 Damn these rose tinted glasses…

            @veeesix They are willing but the city is run by an idiot that only grifts money to a corporation is8 that’s an option. No grift means no action.
