Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.

It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.

Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.

Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.

@jensimmons This is such a great idea! It's exciting to me to think that a truly decentralized version of social media could take off, (hopefully) more invulnerable to a takeover than Twitter or other centralized versions of social media.
