This is a very good idea from @Danhon, for new orgs, universities, government organizations, and so on: each sets up its own Mastodon server to provide verified accounts for employees (which can be migrated elsewhere when no longer employed).
I wrote up my proposal for news organizations (and others) to provide trustable, verifiable accounts (as much as we can, in society) for staff: News/media organizations would stand up a Mastodon instance for staff-only, for example follow.washingtonpost.com (doesn't exist! Only an example!) follow.washingtonpost.com inherits the trust of its parent washingtonpost.com domain. Accounts from that instance are trustable, no public signups. https://newsletter.danhon.com/archive/4230/

It occurs to me that for the past week I've mostly been discussing social media on Mastodon. And while it's great that things are so active, new people are arriving, and we're all discovering each other and learning things, there's a lovely Autumn happening outside.
So here are some bright red Virginia Creeper leaves for your day.
