@siracusa given the number of Apple employees and ex-employees with Mastodon accounts I would have hoped to see (a long time ago already) Apple hosting their own instance for their employees or at the very least for their institutional accounts 😞 shame. Same goes for French public radio. I don't understand the hurdle, it makes far more sense for them to be in control of their social media platform in a federated environment rather than relying on the centralized ones of X/Insta/Bluesky. My company doesn't have a social media presence. If we were to have one, it would be through Mastodon with our own instance. (This is something we frequently question and evaluate)
