Kolokoko Bird!

@arin_basu @atomicpoet As it is now, I think the users who stick around are those who are able to read instructions and persevere. That does select for a subset of people that I particularly like, so it works for me. 🙂

Well said! For me too, 'subset of people I particularly like' and feel safe to discuss things as well. Nice, safe, interactive, get to discover new people and topics, what more can you ask from a 'social media app', and what more rewards will satisfy people 🙂 ?

@arin_basu @KolokokoBird I'll be real. I wish critical communications were delivered through the Fediverse. I don't want to be checking Twitter to find out health policy and economic data.

Of course and why not. I think @lightweight has on numerous occasions argued this with the MoH and others exhorting them to use #fediverse and even offered to host sites. Beats me why a sovereign government cannot host their own server-based channels instead of depending on the likes of #birdsite and #booksite. Crying shame!

Exposure.
Audience reach.
Utilisation of existing technologies instead of spending taxpayers' money shouting in an empty room.

I don't know which country you reside in but afair a lot of them has the same if not more detailed announcement on their own Health Department websites.
