I kind of wish there was a place to post government memorandums/ policy briefs. The twitter thread requires posts to be short and punchy whilst i like to make my news posts to be comprehensive and both require a degree of editorialising and sensationalism but there's nowhere for posts (maybe three or four paragraphs at most) which are literally just the government reported on an emerging situation or laying out its policy options or explaining what policies its implementing are.

I'd rather not make such posts in dispatches where they are likely to be forgotten. I recognise that is a pretty niche problem so i doubt there will be much support or interest in setting up a new dedicated thread.

The obvious solution to me would be to put these posts in the news thread but that runs into all sorts of problems around what knowledge is ICly available to the public and what is being past around internally within a government.

I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions on this, although like i said, i suspect this is something that most people aren't that bothered by.

But I can also see where a government post would also be helpful, I mean we have one for common citizens, why not one for government dispatches?

Probably as much as the citizen one, but it would allow unofficial responses to events when you don’t have time to write a full news story. If you haven’t yet put it
Discord brainstorm and see how the response is.

Citizen one doesn't get used all that much either

I think the difference is the citizens thread generally had quite high-quality posts on it, whereas the sort of posts i'm imagining would be a few paragraphs at most.
