I only use Twitter because my kids school refuses to stop using Twitter.
I'm only on Facebook long enough to catch up with older friends and family.
Why TF is your kids school on Twitter?
It's how they communicate that busses have been released. :/
Is it too complicated for them to send out an MMS message?
Yeah, actually, that would be a pretty high bar. It puts the onus on them to maintain the list of people, to use an app that individually sends the message to everyone so you're not giving everyone each other's phone numbers.
I'd love to see them post it literally anywhere else but it is what it is.
Or a website where they post stuff like that? Like the schools website? My son's school has it's own app where they post updates, photos, etc. Not a huge fan of another app, but at least it's not public and I'm not forced to use Facebook or Twitter.
You can follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon.
Interesting, every API tool I've looked at has been shut down. I'm on Mastodon and a perfectly willing to give it a shot. As long as the message gets to me within about three or four minutes it should be fine. How do you do this?
