So, ready for a really seriously exciting Fediverse development?

Flipboard has announced that they have begun to federate, and the first thing they are doing is hosting a whole bunch of wonderful publications using a new Fediverse instance flipboard.com

Follow these great publications here: flipboard.social/@mike/1116029

Read all about it and their future plans in this Medium post by Flipboard CEO @mike:

Flipboard begins to Federate >>> medium.com/@mmccue/flipboard-b

Interesting concept.

The list of publications is kinda weird: it's a bunch of relatively neutral broad information outlets and then chunked in there is a US christian conservative anti-public school lobby group (the74 / American Federation for Children). Is the idea of flipboard to smoothly legitimize this stuff?

@mastodonmigration @mike

@Pepijn @mastodonmigration I've asked my team about this and will come back to you.

@Pepijn @mastodonmigration Yes. Thanks for checking back. I have a number of things to relay here which I’ll do in a thread.

@Pepijn @mastodonmigration 1. Flipboard has approx 11K publishers from around the world on our platform, each curating into thematic magazines. We specifically do not allow organizations or people that traffic in hate speech, spam, etc. so if/when we detect that we have no qualms about swiftly de-platforming those accounts.
