Is there not some kind of law regarding general access to government notices? I shouldn't have to sign up for a private website to keep up with public services.

How dare you question? Off to El Salvador.
Understandable, I've never said thank you even once.
Is there not some kind of law
Maybe. But nobody's willing to enforce it anyway.
Because X is definitely the right place for that, and something older generations will have access to and know how to use…
Can we stop this timeline now?
Yeah... This is literally designed to hurt people and help Twitter. Some of my older family members don't even have a smart phone. And if they do the only social media they use is Facebook.
Ishamael tried. If it weren't for that bastard Lews Therin, maybe we would have some peace.
Everyone involved in this decision should be shot.
What happened to all the republicans crying about "government shouldn't be picking winners and losers"? Oh right, they're hypocritical little shits that should be in the ground.
So tired of everything trash because like a third of the country has less emotional maturity than a toddler.
Republicans pick winners and losers in their misanthropic hierarchy. Now they own the government, so the government is them.
That needs to be illegal immediately
X.gov
I've said it before and I'll say it again... a social media post is NOT an official government communication. I don't mind it being used in addition to public channels to help spread the word further, but if you are going to use one platform then you should be required to use all of them to ensure all affected people receiving the same information... and I don't see them posting on Bluesky or Mastodon or even Reddit.
I don’t think they should be required to use all of the networks, just the open ones, i.e. no account registration required, easily accessible
That's a good point... if you can't read messages and discussions without a login, then it's not really facilitating public notification.
Nazi government uses Nazi platform. We did see this coming.
that's smart because your core audience who would most be interested in your communications totally use social media /s
also you can't even fucking view posts unless you're logged on
This is so retarded I couldn't stop myself from laughing, I even had a little tear in my eye. This is what people voted for! Satire has become meaningless, every day is an absurd joke now.
Twitter, the web site that is broken if you don't have an account? That's seriously fucked up.
I assume you meant to write "if you don't have an account"
It's also broken if you try to use Firefox to access it
Complete trash. There no reason we should have to use Musks garbage.
You don't support government programs designed to help struggling small businesses run by immigrants?
Great. Social Security incels.
Yes, it's amazing to shift all public facing communications to a privately owned platform, and thus tying participation with BEING on that platform.
To quote @jjjalljs 'Everyone involved in this decision should be shot.'
Why is this not a conflict of interest?
I feel like that whole concept flew the coop a looong time ago
Well, it was fun paying into it for 20 years. Glad I never calculated the payout as part of my retirement strategy.
And X will continue declining in popularity along with Tesla. More competitiors need to spring up against starlink so anyone on that including the government can dump that piece of shit
I’m not worried about this shit. Because I’m not retiring or getting to that age anytime soon. But Godspeed to this nation. Making it out of this mess in a few years.
???????????????????????
Musk's long term corporate welfare strategy is forcing all government functions to be subcontracted out through his companies. His companies wouldn't have long term stability without subsidies, this is literally all he knows.
No I get Musk. What I don’t get his which bonehead decided that was a good idea with no backups.
Musk decided.
