There it is: Germany's second big public broadcaster is teasing, that it will start posting on #Mastodon in a couple of hours as @ZDF That account has 3200 follower, on #Twitter its 1,4 million.

I'm sure it will grow quickly and get a headstart on the other public broadcaster #ARD, which has labeled its first account a test (@NDR).

Of course it would also be a headstart on the big public broadcasters, that are arguing with #Twitter.

@mho @ZDF @NDR do you think Mastodon will ever have a translate function?

@ArmyGirl
Some apps (like Fedilab @apps) and I think instances, too) already have that feature.

@ArmyGirl @mho @ZDF @NDR Mastodon supports inplace translation, just ask your instance admin for activation.

How annoying is it that mainstream media - even state broadcasters like the BBC, that do not allow any advertising - still encourage their audiences to post on Twitter ?
