This is great to see. I love when big players make moves into the fediverse, because it educates the masses. I’m a nobody on the internet advocating for privacy, security, and ethical social media… and I can advocate til my fingers bleed.

But when companies, publications, celebrities, and others of influence do this, it creates awareness and opens their mind up a bit into the platforms, why they’re important, etc. And even if they don’t understand federation at first, at least it’s a touchpoint. A bit of exposure into how we can have a better, open, and private web.
