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?

@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 3. This is one of the ways that we put quality ahead of engagement when recommending content. Twitter, as just one example, does the exact opposite of this.
