Or, hear me out, whatever happened to just hosting your own fucking website and RSS stream? Not everything needs to an opportunity for a random Joe to drop his two cents in.
I agree. European institutions should have social presence, but most of the time that leads to random crazy people commenting under official posts.
Somewhat out of scope for this specific article, but in the States' a lot of cities only make announcements over Tw*tter or Facebook.
I was planning on going to a 4th of July parade with my family, and I only learned it was cancelled (wildfires) because somebody else told me, who was following there, the city website had no mechanism for this kind of news.
Which is really what I'd prefer to see, websites maintained for announcements, and if they want to also post that news on other social media they can use software to crosspost. Also RSS feeds for those who still use readers, plenty of 'Content Management' suites provide that functionality by default.
Social media requires accounts… by default rss is literally more accessible.
