@futurebird The really stupid thing is the Fediverse handily solves the problem in a universal way. It isn't 100% perfect in some ways, but for things like news/etc it pretty much solves their fundamental problems. All they have to do is host their own instances and presto, they can work across anything that can access those instances. It's not so different from hosting websites (which they already do.)
There is literally no excuse that government services don't do this too.
