    I wish more news organizations would do this. Make the instance only for the employees and have the public follow them through public instances.

    It solves the following issues

    • Social media independence
    • Validate account authenticity through the instance domain name
    • Ability for followers migration between instances (leave, join, change news organization)

      The whole Fediverse is still a little on the niche side, but if growth continues, I think this is exactly another development. When you work for Company X, your work email is usually [email protected], likewise I would expect official Fediverse presences.

      Where it will probably take off though is when somebody starts selling corporations a turn-key solution. Kind of how products like Outlook took over corporate email.
