So, the European Union has set up its own Mastodon instance, EU Voice, as an official channel/platform for all its many institutions - what a great initiative https://social.network.europa.eu/about

@Richard_Hull It's a lovely initiative - one I hope many more organisations will follow.

@jpoesen @Richard_Hull I'd love to see news agencies do this so their journalists are verified just by being on the server

@Richard_Hull @jpoesen Sure, but I’m thinking more along the lines of bbc.news/nyt.news or similar

How about reuters.etc? That’s a catchy name.

@mysturji @Richard_Hull @jpoesen sure, doesn’t have to be bbc though. Works for any news organisations
