Washington Post will be creating their own instance. They will add #mastodon accounts to journalist profiles.

Institutional #journalism embracing the #fediverse is important.

UPDATE 07.54 AM: WaPo is *discussing* instance, first messaging about this was too definitive. Seeing level of support, hoping they decide in favour [END]

@claesdevreese @vtraag Jury still out on if we host an instance, but we're actively working on adding links to profiles for our journalists! Trust is important!

@jeremybowers @claesdevreese @vtraag -
PLEASE have the Washington Post host your own instance! In addition to all the issues of security and control, also consider that it is an unreasonable burden for an organization the size and stature of WaPo to depend upon volunteer labor and donated hardware for your Fediverse connection.
