First news organization to stand up its federated Mastodon server with a trustable domain (e.g. http://follow.washingtonpost.com) and accounts for its staff for people to follow gets a prize.

Also, proposal for a standardized domain for news orgs, e.g. follow.bbcnews.com, follow.nytimes.com, and/or autodiscovery of a mastodon server for a parent domain e.g. a socialnetworks.txt

it occurred to me that while i think news organizations should absolutely run their own federated social media servers…

given how columnists, specifically, have reacted to being put on the same level as the plebs on twitter (i. e. completely melting down and losing their shit), columnists should NEVER join fedi. they would instantly die
