So, I am pleased to see that 10 to 1, people want newspapers to set up their own instances.
I am a strong yes. I agree with @atomicpoet ; I think most companies should have fediverse instances.
There is a point a lot of people made. If the newspaper has user accounts for journalists, they should be able to transfer their social graph (followers, following) to another account when they leave the paper.
That seems like a good practice for any staff account.
