Swiss public broadcasters RTS and SRF are drastically reducing their communications via the social network X (formerly Twitter).

    So are they going to Mastadon or what?

      Not exactly the same, but the swiss administration have their own mastodon instance: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/swiss-authorities-to-join-social-media-alternative-mastodon/48808086

      Link to instance: https://social.admin.ch/about

        So ideally these public broadcasters would make communities on the official Swiss instance.

      I think it would be better if they made their own instance that worked akin to Mastodon. Then they are always in control of it and people can use whatever Fediverse account to follow

        That’s how I understand Mastodon’s meant to work. You have your instance like you do a mail server, then you have full control over it.

        I agree, that’s what the BBC did.

          Hmmm, did they? I’m looking and I can’t tell what their legit account is. There’s some account @c.im that has 25k followers but it doesn’t seem like the actual BBC account, just some 3rd-party not (like a dozen others).

          Which is the one they set up?

            I’m pretty sure they did, although I’ve used Mastadon even less than I used Twitter, so I can’t be 100% sure. However I’ve read articles over the months saying they were introducing an instance as a trial, and then that they were keeping it running after the trial.
