  Definitely do this. It puts broadcasters in control of their data and their brand and not the arbitrary whims of some third party.

    Every company should do it. Have their own instance, have a main corporate account, one for each of their brands, and availability of for staff to have accounts there.

    Companies complain about the lack of moderation on twitter under Musk, so do something about it.

  In the UK the BBC are running their own instance social.bbc on trial basis, and I think the trial was recently extended.

  Hopefully other public bodies will follow suit.

    Pretty much all companies should be doing the same thing, not just public bodies.

    You know, it just occurred to me that it’d probably be useful if there were providers providing and maintaining instances as turnkey operations. Most organizations won’t want to host themselves, but might still want to pay for a (reasonably cheap) instance.

    Anyone know what commercial options are out there? A really quick search didn’t turn up anything for me.

      Here you go:

      elest.io/open-source/lemmy

      You can sign up and deploy a lemmy instance in a few minutes.

  I wish, and that would also give another push to RSS feeds which are builtin, to follow people without having an account.

  I can’t believe all public entities didn’t jump on ASAP. It just makes so much sense.

  I wish CBC would host their own Mastodon server.

  What is the Mastodon Lemmy.world equivalent? Like a big, neutral server with minimal censorship and bullshit, and access to most other servers?

    Mastodon.world lol its run by the same team

      If I’m not mistaken they also run off software too? I just can’t think of what else. Definitely both Lemmy and Mastodon. Pretty cool really.
