N.B. government to stop using social media platform X after request from child advocate

The government definitely could have been the ones to take the lead on this. Reading the article, it seems like the solution is for Canadians to get on the platform and show that we’re here

Lamrock said that most of X’s value comes from the days when it was Twitter and the fact that many governments are still on the platform from those days.

The City of Fredericton recently stopped suing X, but spokesperson Marley McLellan said the decision was made after a survey that showed residents were using X less and less to find information about city services.

“The city looks forward to continuing to share information and connect with residents on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, the website and through newsletters,” McLellan wrote in an email.

Are people really getting government updates through LinkedIn?

Right?!?

Hopefully we see more officials on Mastadon not just Bluesky
