I think the idea is that the NSFW servers also federate with nonNSFW. So I guess it solves the problem of seeing posts about the news when you want to browse porn?

488k is the number of posts, they have 19k followers. Pretty great news still tho
Welcome to the club! I did an audible 'oooooh' the first time ActivityPub really clicked with me lol.
gods tagging someone's masto directly from lemmy, and them being able to directly respond via masto is just so fucking nice
Also, you might want to take a look at https://zdf.social/@ZDF and https://ard.social/
ZDF and ARD are the two biggest broadcasters in Germany, and they both have their own ActivityPub (Mastodon) server.
In case you needed some extra convincing that other large mainstream news organisations also have realised that this is actually a good idea that makes sense ;)
A big news org from France is also on Mastodon with like 50k followers, but I cannot remember the name right now
Evan Prodromou (@evan@cosocial.ca) , one of the co-authors of ActivityPub is super interest in getting Canadian news organisations on board the fediverse. He gave a talk about that last night actually: https://cosocial.ca/@evan/110809723914430376
If you're serious about this, you could totally reach out to him, I'm sure he would love to hear from people in CBC
As a side note, Ian betteridge, who has the law named after him for the phenomenon you reference, is quite active on the fediverse
The core premise of federation is that people have the right of association. It’s people core right to say ‘no we don’t want to federate with you’. The microblogging side of fedi has figured this mostly out at this point. Not sure why this is a big deal
Yeah that’s wrong, twitter posts don’t show up in Bluesky at all. Completely separate network
