Press.coop was founded by Dick Hardt to enhance news access in the fediverse. When Twitter changed API rules, they started mirroring RSS feeds instead.
Despite being automated, mirrored accounts attracted significant followings, with some accounts like NPR gaining 10,000 followers, illustrating a demand for news.
The transfer of accounts to Flipboard is not an official acquisition, but aligns the needs of news readers, publishers, and Flipboard.
Flipboard's integration with the fediverse allows users to follow and interact with Mastodon accounts, enhancing the platform's functionality and reach.
