Now this is the kind of growth factor the Fediverse needs, not Threads.

I know I’m not the only one who has been saying that this type of move makes perfect sense for governments and news organizations, but I’m going to go ahead and take credit for this.

You’re welcome, guys!

Removed as a protest against the community's support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it's mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.

This makes so much sense.

BBC wouldn't make their news site under Google Blogger... so why depend on other corporations for your microblogging?

Spin up your own server, have your own verification, then use it on your site and share outs.

Well, I think it's positive although it's eerie to have government run instances.

What's wrong with government-run instances, when they're used specifically for communication from that government?

It's a smart thing for news sources and ngos to do - run an instance and use it to issue posts and provide a platform for journalists. Twitter and other platforms can still receive posts but the "source of truth" is the Mastodon server
