Alexander Plaum, Innovation Manager at Deutsche Welle (DW), writes about his team's exceptionally positive experience with microblogging in the Fediverse. He also explains why all public broadcasting professionals should try out Mastodon (and other decentralized social media).
"So what are the skeptics waiting for? Everybody has to prepare posts and threads and multimedia soc med content bits anyway – why not put them out on Mastodon? Imho, there's nothing to lose, only a new (rather interesting) audience to gain," writes Plaum.
The BBC currently have a trial at social.bbc - recently extended, which is promising.
Another big wave is approaching soon then
I would love if my national broadcaster was on the Fediverse somehow :)
Would prefer if they would all join Nostr, but Mastodon is better than X so let's go!
