| Live reporting updates no longer posting to x/Twitter |
This has been a developing scenario but I am now convinced that there is no benefit to posting there.
You can find updates after the meeting on Facebook. Instagram has been added to that distribution.
I am currently evaluating the use of @Threads for the live meeting posts, or a return to updating the webpage at franklinmatters.org/ (which would also likely mean bringing my laptop back to meetings. Ah, choices...).
