As it says in the title, the BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance. I think the CBC (and other news networks) should do similar. Particularly with the recent passing of Bill C-18 it seems like a world where the links we share are crossposts to news organization’s own content is the perfect resolution to that whole issue.
Plus an account in a potential social.cbc.ca domain has the advantage that you know automatically that it’s a legit CBC account.
Ah true! I didn’t think of it that way. I kind of forgot how the whole federation thing worked for a second there lol.
Yep, that is huge.
