This is how it's done! Chicago Transit Authority abandons X.
"After careful consideration, CTA has decided to suspend the use of its general information (@ cta) and service alerts (@ ctaAlerts) accounts on Twitter/X.com, as this social media platform no longer provides the value it once did for us to effectively reach and communicate with our riders."
Simply walk away. Don't look back. No need for elaborate explanations. Leave.

Reasonable, but I think there would be more reliability and adoption if provided by the federal government. For example, I don’t really trust states like Alabama to run services like this properly.
Why not all of the above? Each state can run their own and smaller cities and towns can use it. If larger cities want to host their own, then they can do that instead of relying on state instance.
How about a state/province level instance for municipal affairs?

I trust my city government a hell of a lot more than I trust the incoming federal administration.
I would trust a guy named Shank who sells fake IDs on the bus more than I trust the incoming federal administration.
At least you know Shank is on your side. No ulterior motive working for the billionaire class. He’s just as fucked by the system as you are.
