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.

Seriously, who are these people commenting on CBC articles? I don't usually even look at the comments anymore, simply because any time I did, they were full of the shittiest, dumbest assholes I've ever seen. I'm embarrassed to even share a country with people who comment on CBC articles.

By comparison, comments on Reddit and Lemmy are usually okay. Not good by any means (especially in the right leaning mess that was r/Canada), but miles better than CBC's comments (which I can only assume are completely unmoderated).
