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
@TomRaftery @jpoesen There is an instance for journalists, not sure how 'official' https://journa.host/explore
#TwitterMigration
@Richard_Hull @TomRaftery Hmmm... those journo instances are similar to all other community-oriented mastodon neighborhoods.
Nothing wrong with them, but for journalists I would love to see orgs run *their own* instances, if only to provide instant 'verification'.
What could be more trustworthy - identity wise - than seeing accounts like @JaneDoe@social.cnn.com?

Mastodon can also do domain aliases do you could even have @username@cnn.com
@jmaris Ooh, that's cool. Did not know that.
@jpoesen you can also alias your existing username to your own website, so for example, if you are hosted on social.coop, but have a domain like jpoesen.me, you could alias it so people can find you by searching "me@jpoesen.me".

@jmaris Excellent. Looks just the right type of project to hack on during the xmas break, next to the fireplace, sipping hot cocoa.
And it looks like the ActivityPub #Drupal module has received some renewed love too, so I'll be looking forward to see how my site can interact with the fediverse in multiple ways.
Neat!
