I expect newspapers and indeed any corporations with a deliberate Twitter presence to do this. It just makes sense.

They own their own server and answer to no one, but they're accessible to everyone. Why isn't this a no-brainer?

@mastodonmigration This is gonna get interesting. Do they understand Open Source?

@mastodonmigration I'd love to see NZ Government/Parliament set up its own instance. To date they largely use fbook for public communication, I refuse to visit either fbook or Twitter for govt communication. #nzpol

@mastodonmigration
Here we go.

@mastodonmigration WOW. Those are notable accounts moving over.

@mastodonmigration boy, they’re not mucking around! Very well done.

@mastodonmigration Keep the iron hot!

@mastodonmigration pretty new at this stuff. But is this not a huge game changer in social media

@mastodonmigration #ThisIsTheWay

@mastodonmigration thanks! @brewsterkahle

@mastodonmigration Logical move. If social networks become a public square that is indeed relevant, they can’t be left solely in the hands of proprietary technologies / private sector.

@mastodonmigration How do I follow them?

@mastodonmigration Thanks you very much for these overviews.

@mastodonmigration the appropriation has begun.

@mastodonmigration This is really good, because it acts as type of verification for the organization.

@mastodonmigration Just think of it as

Something something people knowing that they need to ensure their free expression.

and oh cool, Brewster set up an instance. That’s just like him. He’s a bit chaotic to work for, but I’d rather see him being the darling tech bro over any of the current notorious lot.

@mastodonmigration 🇪🇺 has been on here for a while now, 🇩🇪 has had an instance for ages but it hasn't been used much until just recently.

@mastodonmigration To me this is one of *the* selling points. Decentralisation in general matters, but most ordinary users won't care much.

But for organisations who can use it as an opportunity to control and own their own presence, on the other hand, it seems like it ought to be, or at least have the potential to become, a big selling point.

It's March 1993.

The first tentative steps to the Internet soon become a flood.

@mastodonmigration @jimcarroll given where twitter is going…twitter like,y will be blocked in Europe This us why https://nadinbrzezinski.medium.com/twitter-and-hate-speech-cfef56e9fa90

@mastodonmigration I think it is GREAT that organizations are establishing their own instance’s. Not only can the control members, they can totally control their message.

It is better than Twitter.

Thanks for the information! I have added it to my repository: https://github.com/jmrplens/mastodon_official_profiles

@mastodonmigration
This is partially used as a way to verify the identity of members of those groups, since their mastodon id's will be mirrored on those instances.

@mastodonmigration In the social media war I think Mastodon is starting to pull ahead. I know that one of my twitts were going to go to I think its called hive and I chose here and I think here is a more solid choice. I expect more big groups.
