“As simple as hosting their own website” is contradictory for a majority of the people using the internet.
- olyjohn 1mo agoWe are talking about organizations here who are communicating with the public.
- ncallaway 1mo agoThe context of the thread is public institutions. I promise you, most public institutions are capable of hosting a web site or running a bluesky account
- alightsoul 1mo agoThey choose not to because no one uses them. To get views for political purposes you have to use social media like blue sky and the fediverse
- MarkusQ 1mo agoWhy should public institutions be trying to get views for political purposes? Isn't that directly contrary to the intended role of public institutions in a democracy?
- alightsoul 1mo agoBecause they want to win the next election? Corruption basically.
- MarkusQ 1mo agoBingo. It's not the "institutions" doing it, it's whichever elected officials we're trusting to run it at the time abusing their positions.
