What! My outie loves Severance.

I can’t locate this community using search on the term ‘severance’.

Do you mind sharing the instance and community name?

Praise Kier!

Hard agree! I do think fediverse platforms are perfect for public entities to disseminate information.

I’m US based so my example is say a county. They already have the IT infrastructure and staff. Make an instance for the county and a community for each department.

The road department can post road closures and upcoming traffic diversions. The parks department can promote events, etc.

These type of instances can just disable comments. They are read-only so moderation is not needed.

It’s trivial from a resource perspective and even easier than updating a website.

It is a feature, not a problem.

I have, like, this whole rich life offline. My curated list of instances and communities (plus my user block list) is just my entertainment and a small portion of my day.

You may not believe this but I have numerous thoughts, activities and interactions that never leave a trace online. I have no obligation to drink from the firehose that is being pumped from the septic tank of the human psyche.
