I think that this is an important part of the future of the fediverse. News sites and the like have shitty poorly moderated comment sections that serve almost no purpose. They have the resources to sustain a large instance and like you said it lets them more easily monetize their work. It seems like wins all around if enough news outlets adopt it.
I think it would be pretty cool if I could subscribe to different CBC sections, and have it show up in my normal feeds, I think this would mitigate the biases that relying on news going viral creates without having to go to the cbc itself and scrape through it myself.
Plus, free RSS!
(For the five of us that still care about that, anyway.)
RSS forever!
There are dozens of us!
Dozens!
Almost 50!
This is so much better than relying on tweeter assuming it can be medium for some sort of commons!
For sure. Reading through the entire cbc.ca site feels so unfeasible and exhausting. Having it actually categorized and browsable without all the attention-grabbing mega headlines would make it much more readable.
@SlikPikker Would using an RSS reader help with navigation? Allows you to follow CBC News without having to dig through their website.
You can find the RSS list here: https://www.cbc.ca/rss/
Thanks, I'll check it out. It might help yeah.
Don't click on a CBC app video link either, you will have to watch 30 seconds of ads before the article...EVERY TIME.
Do you not have uBlock Origin?
Does not work on the app. I use it otherwise.
Yes, I think this is really the future. I remember there was a country that was also planning to make their own instance in the fediverse as well.
