BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance. The CBC should do the same. (lemmy.ca)

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.

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/

Don't click on a CBC app video link either, you will have to watch 30 seconds of ads before the article...EVERY TIME.

Does not work on the app. I use it otherwise.
