I’ve been thinking of how to go about lobbying institutions to join the fediverse. I think the next step could be to look at the domain of accounts with large followings and approach institutions that share those domains. When they see large followings for their subject matter, they would be more likely to join.
Ohh, I forgot he was on Fedi, great recommendation! Edit: 460K followers - that’s fantastic to see. Although I’m not sure whether I can convince our public transport announcements to be moved here on that basis :D
