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.

I don’t think they realize how easy (and low risk) it can be to set up a Mastodon server. Particularly when you don’t have to allow the public to create accounts.
They do. Government orgs are just extremely slow and have a lot of stupid ass inefficiencies.
I did contracting work for a gov website that involved a revamp. It took two years for the work to get to me, one month for me to finish my first pass, and then three more years before it finally launched.
