While #NPR and #PBS have quit #Twitter (without mentioning #Mastodon however), Germany's biggest public broadcaster #ARD and #ZDF are not only already testing their own instances for quite a while (https://dev.ard.social/public/local & https://zdf.social/public/local): The first proper account is now live and posts news articles from northern Germany – @NDR

Let's see, if NPR and PBS find their way here. Oh and where is the #BBC?

I just posted about this concept -- that's the way it's done! Distributed platforms are only useful if they're distributed. If everyone piles into one mega instance then they might as well stay on twitter since you're just taking the keys from one admin and handing them to another. If you host it yourself, your organization has the keys.
