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 a great idea! Paging @philipdutre since Univ itself isn't on here it seems.
@Bartmeeus @tdee Als je bedoelt dat de #kuleuven zelf servers moet beginnen opzetten ... studentenorganisaties zullen dat misschien wel doen. Vanuit #kuleuven zelf, been there, doen that (cfr (pre)internet in de jaren 80 en 90).
