I just noticed I still own the 'mastodon.press' domain 🤔 I got it a while ago before the massive birb migration but I concluded it was a failed project since it got stamped into the ground  

Pretty sure the domain can be used now for journalists or news outlets or something?

I'm not gonna fire up another instance so I am willing to tranfser it! But it has to be used and not sold or something, that makes me feel like a clown

CNN? TWP? New York Times? Anyone?

@stux Hi @acosta! 👋

I’ve thought a lot about this, too. With Twitter becoming more and more irrelevant, I’m wondering why/when CNN will fire up their own “official” server. I mean, if I can set one up for me and my friends, I’d assume a VERY large Org would be able to do the same.

Or, is engagement over there still “relevant” to CNN folks?

@JPZ @stux @acosta I don't know many non-FOSS brands and advertisers with a presence here. That's CNN's target audience (and Fox's too, to be honest) and where they get their money, so it makes sense they'd follow the money, which hasn't moved from the Fowl Place.

@blake @stux @acosta Seems to still be a pretty long/vague transition period, too. I think just like everyone else, no one knows what to expect. Everyone has become so reliant on different services. It does make sense that they’d follow the money, and I’m sure everyone’s experience there is different now, too. But I mean, I’m just not seeing all of the tweets from the people I follow there. Something’s gotta give.
