over on threads now; no lists, no tags, home stream is not just your follows, but no Space Karen either. (sticking to Mastodon for now, but will still be here as long as my lists work)
While we have found some workarounds to view specific tweets, we are not able to efficiently sift through this during active severe weather events. Thank you for your understanding. Automated watches and warnings will still disseminate as normal, but no other tweets are planned.
Due to issues with Twitter rate limits, we are unable to access most tweets at this time. Send reports to our other social media accounts or direct through our email/phone lines. If you are a storm spotter, head to https://t.co/C24UXkYRg3 for additional info. #cowx
TikTok is one of the world’s most popular social media sites and a useful resource for open source investigators. Bellingcat researchers @questiionn01 @Johanna_Wild , wrote a comprehensive guide to investigating TikTok in 2020 that remains relevant today https://t.co/x8s76gGzU1

Setting up your own instance seems wise if possible security concerns can be addressed. It certainly would eliminate "verification" issues... #EMGtwitter#EMGmastodon#IAEM#NEMA#smem#vost
Thankful for my emergency management friends for building Mastadon accounts and making contingency plans. Anyone planning a Mastadon instance/server specifically for their agency yet? #EMGtwitter#EMGmastodon#IAEM#NEMA#smem#vost
I've seen posts on news media orgs setting up instances to host their staff & official accounts; where will EM agencies & orgs go? #EMGtwitter#EMGmastodon#IAEM#NEMA#smem#vost
For work reasons and because twitter still functions, I am not ready to leave yet - but this is a good article on why many are leaving, and I don't blame them. (and I am setting up on Mastodon for if/when this site ceases to function or becomes completely unenjoyable)
Mastodon has just passed over 2 million active monthly users, a new record! People are voting with their feet. The future of social media doesn't have to belong to a billionaire, it can be in the hands of its users.
@aarontitus yeah i’m very sad about the possible loss of this platform & community that has greatly improved my life in many ways. having said that, I’ve also set up on Mastodon & I’m hopeful that if we lose twitter, we might be able to use that in a similar fashion if enough people join up
I spoke to @TIME about how Twitter became such a vital part of our emergency comms infrastructure — serving as a hub for witness reports, real-time updates, news-gathering, & more — and why losing such a lifeline would be so disastrous and likely deadly.
