So, the European Union has set up its own Mastodon instance, EU Voice, as an official channel/platform for all its many institutions - what a great initiative https://social.network.europa.eu/about

@Richard_Hull It's a lovely initiative - one I hope many more organisations will follow.
I've started keeping track of these 'official' instances here:
@jpoesen @Richard_Hull I'd love to see news agencies do this so their journalists are verified just by being on the server
@jpoesen @TomRaftery @Richard_Hull Tradicional media have historically done a terrible job moderating forums on their websites, making twitter look like a dream site. They must do far better here; otherwise, they will face legal issues.
@Tribo @jpoesen @Richard_Hull I don't see that they need to create a forum. Just setup a server instance for their employees, similar to their in-house email servers. Only give accounts to their employees so that by publishing from their "work" #Mastodon account, they're automatically verified as an employee of the news organisation
@TomRaftery @jpoesen @Richard_Hull They will have to moderate the instance, which will depend on the model they follow. Many journalists aren't that social.
@Tribo @TomRaftery @Richard_Hull Next step: outsourcing moderation to a new type of digital agency.
They already do community building and community management. Why not add custom moderation to those services, based on the org's chosen set of policies?
#FreeStartupIdea right there.
@jpoesen @Tribo @TomRaftery Wowzer, brilliant idea
@jpoesen @Tribo @TomRaftery @Richard_Hull exactly what this company has been doing for two decades: https://thesocialelement.agency/our-story
