There is going to be a real cost to Elon Musk fucking everything up. But that is what happens when you rely on services like Twitter and don't control your own data or data flow. Why they don't make the move *now* to migrate over to Mastodon is flabbergasting.
@natharari Probably because they just don't know
@bp It's been all over the press for months and all over Twitter as well. You'd think their IT departments would be at least aware.
@Pat Yeah but if you read the article, they have saved many lives with notices and information on Twitter.
@natharari
I think it's pretty foolish to rely on internet availability generally during a disaster.
