    Honestly a mix all four doesn’t seem bad to me. For example, a public library hosting an instance, or a for-profit research or reporting organization federating sounds unproblematic.

    For-profit always has to be handled with care, but for example Flipboard hosts an instance and I haven’t seen any issues yet.

      Yeah, i guess it could work, but it requires care.

      Instances have defederated from for-profit instances before. So i’m not sure how willing people are to put up with it. But libraries are a nice example, i guess, or any public agency giving out public information.
