This is how it's done! Chicago Transit Authority abandons X.
"After careful consideration, CTA has decided to suspend the use of its general information (@ cta) and service alerts (@ ctaAlerts) accounts on Twitter/X.com, as this social media platform no longer provides the value it once did for us to effectively reach and communicate with our riders."
Simply walk away. Don't look back. No need for elaborate explanations. Leave.

The city government spinning up its own instance makes sense. You could then have accounts for the various departments, transit, road and highway, parks and rec, the library, the mayor’s office…
If it’s unified under the federal government, then an asshole president can mess with it.
If it’s distributed, with states and major cities having their own instances, then it’s more asshole-resistant.
Why would we ever elect an asshole president though?

“Asshole resistant” sounds like marketing terms used to advertise a dildo to a community that enjoys consentual non-consent.
Like they want a dildo that doesn’t go into assholes easily.
