A number of people have asked me if I think that governments should run Mastodon instances for citizens. There may be exceptions, but I don't think governments should be in this business, for a variety of reasons.
However, I do think that *Libraries* would be *amazing* hosts for public federated social media communities. Just sayin'.

@blaine What are your thoughts on public media presence in the Fediverse? There's been some talk from academics here in Canada encouraging the CBC to open an instance.

It makes perfect sense to me that any media organization (or any organization at all) should run their own instance. It's essentially the equivalent of 'verified'.
