I just asked my communications and IT colleagues at #Stanford to consider hosting a #Mastodon server for our University community (as MIT has already done: mastodon.mit.edu).

Such institutional sponsorships (e.g., higher ed, academic associations, etc.) seem like a compelling & sustainable equilibrium for the #TwitterMigration. I also think organizations that do so would benefit in several ways without meaningful new risks.

@tdee Completely agree. I had this same thought when I first came here. News organizations, think tanks, and government agencies/institutions could follow suit and provide a means for verification and bringing their audience from Twitter.

@SteveBHolt @tdee Yes. I don't think anyone committed to dissemination and outreach would be comfortable on a platform that has paid prioritization. It drowns out the voices of those who are already marginalized.
