@hello @deadsuperhero @potus that’s an excellent question. It seems pretty logical that all organizations should host their #fediverse instances. I wonder also why they use threads? Maybe for privacy?

@janettespeyer I think it’s under appreciated that there are a TON of practical issues when it comes to how to be on fediverse, issues ranging from internal editorial processes through marketing matters through legal matters.
The hosting of one’s own instance falls into those issues.
It’s not as simple as a lot of people think.
