There it is: Germany's second big public broadcaster is teasing, that it will start posting on #Mastodon tomorrow as @ZDF That account has 3200 follower, on #Twitter its 1,4 million.

I'm sure it will start to grow quickly and get a headstart on the other big public broadcaster #ARD, which has labeled its first account a test (@NDR).

Of course it would also be a headstart on the big public broadcasters, that are arguing with #Twitter.

A lot of people have been asking about NPR and PBS accounts and affiliates on here. Texas Public Radio has just signed up:

➡️ @TPR

We know it's really them as they mention it on their verified Twitter account: https://nitter.net/TPRNews/status/1646554638361952266 (original at https://twitter.com/TPRNews/status/1646554638361952266)

There's also NPR/PBS affiliate @gbhnews in Massachusetts. If you know any others on here, post them in the replies.

p.s. Thank you to @tehjessica for the original post announcing it!

While #NPR and #PBS have quit #Twitter (without mentioning #Mastodon however), Germany's biggest public broadcaster #ARD and #ZDF are not only already testing their own instances for quite a while (https://dev.ard.social/public/local & https://zdf.social/public/local): The first proper account is now live and posts news articles from northern Germany – @NDR

Let's see, if NPR and PBS find their way here. Oh and where is the #BBC?

Here we go! #PBS #NPR #Twitter

"The Public Broadcasting Service has followed National Public Radio in quitting Twitter after the social media network labeled both organizations as government-backed media."
