I think it's really funny that they are specifically doing the type of thing have been advising not to do on their podcast for large businesses....which is using someone else instance....
@rotfarm I think that publishers and creators will have multiple accounts in the #Fediverse for different purposes and use cases. For example I now have three accounts in the Fediverse: My Flipboard account where I curate interesting content into magazines that people can follow. My Mastodon account where I mostly post and converse about the Fediverse. My PixelFed account where I post photos.
@mike Oh, no I meant that they wouldn't create their own mastodon instances. Flipboard has multiple accounts for types of news, and I was thinking those others would do that, as opposed to repeating the same idea of using another's instance as a platform, but now thinking about it, it maybe makes sense as flipboard itself is an app business platform for distributing news.
