Do you agree if every university should establish each own Mastodon instance?

For example, #MIT in the US, #Cambridge in the UK, and #TUM in Germany has their own Mastodon instances and are federated to each other.

So students at MIT would have their own Mastodon accounts officially from MIT, they can communicate with students at Cambridge, TUM, and so on.

Please share your opinion. Boost is very appreciated.

So much talk about Elon Musk’s wealth drop off in the last 12 months due to a downturn in market pressures as well as other economic, labour and manufacturing problems.
But here is Tesla, Ford and GM’s stock price.
Note that stock prices moving roughly in tandem until mid-October when Musk's impending takeover of #twitter is finalised and then ... a huge drop off.

@mrsmith @taylorlorenz You're basically asking for #Mastodon to become #Twitter. I like that here things work differently.

If you want journalism to work here, you need to take advantage of Mastodon's strengths.

Create dedicated instances. This would solve the verification problem. Extra features could be added to emulate quotes and improve moderation.

Mastodon is #OpenSource, you don't need anybody's permission to improve how your instance works.

FTX's founder being arrested for fraud, Elon losing billions and being the butt of every joke, Trump being investigated for multiple criminal charges, and amazon losing billions in stock.

We're so close to real consequences, it's like Christmas! Actually it is.

Should #musk step down from #twitter? I say no, as he drives it to the ground, the people's network rises!

Mediaite right wing writer Isaac Schorr misread the Twitter account @joinmastodon as "John Mastodon," and referred to him as the founder of the platform in his article https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/hypocrisy-and-fear-all-the-way-down-at-twitter/ #tech #twitter #twittermigration #twitterexodus #news #media

After you’ve drawn such a strong distinction on speech and human freedom, you can’t make any mistake about the side on which you belong.

@chris_spackman @BenjaminHCCarr I wrote a little package that makes it easy to save ffmpeg commands in #emacs for later use. There’s an example at post https://xenodium.com/seamless-command-line-utils/ and all the usages I have so far at https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command/blob/main/dwim-shell-commands.el

While cookbooks can never replace proper documentation such as the HyperSpec or books such as Practical Common Lisp, every language deserves a good cookbook, Common Lisp included.

This free cookbook aims to tackle all sort of topics, for the beginner as for the more advanced developer.

I was giving mastodon.el a try but did not get very far. Here is what I got in the Messages buffer:

It didn't return any timeline.
Will someone point me in the right direction? I am a new emacs user and I am using spacemacs.
