   #Journalism orgs and news outlets are squandering a real opportunity when they don't embrace #Mastodon and the #fediverse

   - Launch your own instances

   - Launch instances for the communities you serve

   - Promote the hell out of them

   Do that and you take a great leap into reclaiming the role of publisher and caretaker of the public record.

     Prior to Mastodon and the fediverse if you wanted to create a real and viable social media platform it would cost you millions.

     Mastodon being well developed product that it is (thanks to @Gargron ) really and truly gives news orgs the power to run their own social site for hundreds to thousands of dollars, not millions.

     The SMART orgs like @politico , @TheConversationUS, @texastribune , @texastribune and countless others took the risk made the jump and will benefit greatly because of it.
