for the non dutchies: Im sure youve all seen the Discourse that with Twitter preventing public access to tweets is a big issue of stuff like emergency services and weather warnings.
This is now already playing out in Amsterdam. Theres a bit of a storm, so the fire department send out an emergency text message to everyone. The first version included a link to twitter to follow the latest updates. Then they realized, and a second version that went to a different region (as the storm travelled there) got a warning message without the twitter link.
I think the quote by the press person from the fire department really says it all: "We don't check every day if everyone can still read our tweets"
Considering that Amsterdam is the first municipality to run their own Mastodon server, it seems like the solution is right available
@jbaert Hmm I guess I could use two Buffer accounts to do what I'd like. One account for Mastodon/Twitter/Facebook and another for Instagram/TikTok/Youtube. I'll have to look into that.
On Lemmy, comments are not truly deleted, but hidden for all except instance admins. Also, deleted comments will still be present (they just say something to the affect of "deleted by user") and still show the poster's username even after the poster's account is deleted....

How do post/comment deletions work on kbin vs Lemmy?
