I actually work at a university as a server admin and have direct access to both the PR/event organizer (very susceptible to buzzwords) and the dean himself. I'll definitely reference this article when I make my recommendation.
I feel that long-term, the best case for the fediverse is for governments, schools, and other large institutions to make their own instances. It would prevent the collapse of threads or whatever corporate competitor from disrupting the ability of local governments to communicate important messages to people.
I look at this activity pub as everything that RSS could have been and more. I'm so super excited to see institutions getting involved in publishing readable and easily navigable web content!
The EU has its own Mastodon instance, seems like a good example: https://social.network.europa.eu/@EU_Commission
