Heck, The Star should, too.

The @TexasObserver has shown news orgs the power of running their own instances.

This builds on an argument @fenwick and I made here:

theconversation.com/canadas-pu

But is a bit more modest. While Fen and I argue the CBC could run a social media service for all Canadians, my Toronto Star op-ed merely argues the CBC could run an instance for its own reporters.

@rwg @fenwick good article I'm convinced haha. what really stood out for me was the ability for the cbc to verify its own and maintain trust.

@mikebaarda @fenwick Yeah! It's trivial to link a reporter's fedi profile to a page on cbc.ca, but it would be hard to spoof that.

I think large media insitutions should totally run their own servers, but I think there is a role for lots of other orgs to be running servers across so-called canada.

Not sure if you have followed #cosocial, which has set up a canadian community services coop both to provide an instance for Canadians but also to be an anchor org around these types of conversations: cosocial.ca/ is the instance and they are collecting annual dues on open collective: opencollective.com/cosocial

disclosure: I'm a coop member!
