    Why would a news agency require a social media server?

    They are supposed to do news, right? We have open standards for that already. RSS feeds, namely.

      It’s by far been one of if not the best way to reach their audience for well over a decade. RSS feeds might be well used by lemmy users, but you don’t really think most people get their news that way? Or even know how to use RSS, or what it is. I’ve got friends and family members who have never owned a personal computer, but they have accounts on all the biggest social media platforms.
