Its weird how all these useful local info accounts end up being dependent on platforms that promote noise makers and attention cravers.

Feels like there is a need for a message broker platform, where these local accounts can sign up and push messages out to whomever wants them via socials, SMS, RSS, whatevs. Buffer meets Svix for social/messaging PubSub or something similar vs Yet Another Platform.

Mastodon would be perfect for these but there is no critical mass at least yet.

mastodon is a fediverse client

It’s not like local weather guy is likely to get anyone on just his website or such these days.

So the current dynamic is - platforms use noise makers to draw in crowds, then signal producers like the weather guy go where the crowds are.

Does Bluesky change this dynamic?

[duxup]

I do not know. But I know the dynamic of local weather guy with his own site is likely not a winning play.

if only there was some kind of tool that allow producers to cross post to multiple social medias at once..
