I thought flipboard was federated now. They're already part of the fediverse. Why would they need a Mastodon account?
Mastodon is a provider. Flipboard is a provider. Threads is a provider. Friendica is a provider. Pixelfed is a provider. They all work together and can all communicate with each other without everybody requiring accounts on every provider. That's what makes the fediverse work. For instance I'm on 'Y'. I don't have an account on any of those other things, yet here I am.
