    Is Twitter/X viable for that? They can decide, and have, to randomly put information behind login walls.

      They technically still have an SLA, but it’s unclear how much they respect it. And if X isn’t viable there are other platforms that are.

        SLA? If that means something like “service level agreement” (I don’t know, you didn’t specify, I’m guessing) then I can still find examples where it falls well below what I would expect from a public service such that if there was an agreement in place that I would definitely be opposed to it as a tax payer.

        And if X isn’t viable there are other platforms that are.

        I mean yes obviously, there are much more viable platforms like Mastodon, or even a self-hosted website.

          And again, which was the point of my original comment, Mastodon may not do great when you need to propagate the post to other platforms. Unless you know something I don’t, Mastodon is horrible for time sensitive information, since it can take hours to get to your instance.
