    Pretty sure the Washington post did a full spread about Mastodon like a year ago. Despite this, I still can’t find any real major media outlets on there. Or maybe they exist, but I feel the thing holding mastodon back is discovery.

      Major outlets did do some previously. Unfortunately, look at the active user count of Mastodon vs other social media outlets.

      These companies want to reach the most people as possible. Theres also an AskLemmy about barriers to adoption of the general public unfortunately that was answered quite well :/
