Make an alternative first, then stop using it. Build a new X alternative for Canadian government messaging, and then let anyone use it.
Just signed this now, but haven’t received the validation email. For those who have signed it, how long did you have to wait?
I just did it and it took about 5 minutes to get the email.
Fastest petition I ever signed lol. Easy decision.
I agree with the petition, but I wish it had mentioned that Twitter hides most, if not all, of an account’s tweets behind a login wall. Same for Instagram for that matter. That’s a strong reason not to use it for government communication.
Pubic services should use public platforms to share their messages, the private sector can then relay it, or not.
God I love Charlie Angus.
This should have been done two years ago.
I love that Senator Paula Simons @Paulatics@mstdn.ca is active on mastodon, totally support an official instance.
Thank you! I just signed this. Probably won’t get anywhere but it’s worth it to try.
They still haven’t?
How can offial government communication use TwitX? Most of us never visit the site.
Our regional police uses Twitter, and since I don’t, I have to use some complex-ass relay through a third-party Mastodon account that I read through an RSS feed (because I don’t Mastodon, either!)… it’s not cool that official, important messages are put behind the wall of a private platform.
Governments should never use closed systems for official communication, especially not systems owned by a Nazi
