@jeff Agreed, and I don't understand why orgs like NPR and APM aren't standing up their own servers to not only post content but also to give their journalists an official/verified presence.

Just like they give them an org email, give them an org Mastodon! And just like they can use their personal email for whatever, they can use accounts on other Mastodon servers for whatever.

@mike @jeff The biggest issue is not technical. A service provider market for Mastodon instancing could address this with packages of all sizes. The bigger issue is content moderation. Each instance would have to administer content moderation. This means that they would need to employ people to do the content moderation function. This is very different from the tech admin function and takes a different skill set.

@mastodonmigration @jeff That's insightful stuff and I totally agree, but don't many businesses with internet presences already have people with that function and/or skill set, curating or sanitizing or otherwise moderating the material that goes out on their websites or social media handles?
