Seems a little hyped, no? How many of these publications have even heard of Flipboard, let alone Mastodon?
Flipboard’s just a middleman platform—it doesn’t bring a publication’s team, and doubtful even their attention, and certainly not their engagement, to Mastodon. It just brings snippets of content to lure you to #Flipboard (if you’re not careful what you click on).
I think I’ll just hold out for the publications and their staff to join #Mastodon in an official capacity.

On the contrary.
The walled gardens have not gone away with the fediverse. At all.
In fact there are more walled gardens than ever before. Every #Mastodon instance is its OWN walled garden, in terms of discoverability. Search is cordoned off: you can’t find anything for the most part except whatever might have been posted to your own walled garden and only if recent.
Talk of “freedom” is lovely but the reality is Mastodon is like a spy agency with severely compartmentalized info.

[Tiny editorial comment… no need to use the word “dollars” everywhere if you show the dollar sign to the left of each amount… it’s redundant]
