@supernovae @georgetakei It's almost inconceivable that reputable firms (especially including media) would give away their work product for free on a platform which doesn't appreciate them, and is sinking into the sewer.

NPR and others should absolutely dip their toes into Mastodon - start by setting up an account, including at #universeodon , and then once they're are used to the lay of the land, they have the freedom to establish their own dedicated instance and migrate their accounts to it.
