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.
If you build your house on a king’s land, the king owns your house.
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.

Hey, I resemble that remark!
Nice, thanks!
I found 2, but I am sure there are more. https://masto.host/ https://toot.io/mastodon_hosting.html
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 other software too? I just can’t think of what else. Definitely both Lemmy and Mastodon. Pretty cool really.
They also run bookwyrm.world! A fediverse alternative of Goodreads.
Oh thank you so much for sharing! I abandoned Goodreads because it lacked trustworthiness (why does an unreleased novel have 10,000 5 star reviews?)
Advance free give aways in exchange for “honest” reviews. Still shady af.
Well, at least there’s the veneer of authenticity, ha. Thanks for the extra context.
Not federated but I can really recommend trying out hardcover.app/
They’re not federated but have very good import/export tools if you want to take your data somewhere else.
Thank you! I’ll check that out as well, though I value highly federation.
Me too, hopefully they federate at some point. The team behind Hardcover seem to support the ideas of the open web… at least data portability and so on. Let’s see if a meaningful connection with Bookwyrm is possible in the future.
That would be mastodon.social https://fedidb.org/network/instance/mastodon.social Not sure about censorship / moderation rules though.

mastodon.social. Don’t know about censorship though.
