@mike I'm currently listening to your latest Dot Social episode with @cubicgarden. Really enjoying it.
At the 11:55 mark, you mention The Guardian's experience with Mastodon and how they ultimately shut it down. I think you mean the Financial Times.
FT setup a Mastodon instance and let anyone join. That turned into a royal mess for them.

Not sure why FT allowed anyone to join their instance. They should've done what BBC is doing. Keep accounts limited to just FT.
