We started this account less than 6 months ago. It's going pretty well – thanks to you: 4.2k followers, lots of interactions, questions, and comments. 🎉

A couple of weeks ago, the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU) asked us to write a guest article about our experience with #Mastodon / the #Fediverse, explain the basics, and point out the advantages.  

Challenge accepted. 👍

So here's the finished post by @lxplm, hot off the #blog press. ⌨️

Ford is the company that stopped making sedans since the margins weren't big enough. I'm sure they were hoping EVs would be another big margin segment.

"The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted SpaceX permission to fly 12,000 Starlink satellites, and the company has filed paperwork with an international regulator to loft up to 30,000 additional spacecraft. "

They do have permission from the FCC. I guess since most satellites are used for communications they fall under the FCC. Not sure what the international regulator mentioned in the article is.

Starlink satellites: Facts, tracking and impact on astronomy

Are Starlink satellites a grand innovation or an astronomical menace?
