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.

Evan Prodromou (@[email protected]) , one of the co-authors of ActivityPub is super interest in getting Canadian news organisations on board the fediverse. He gave a talk about that last night actually: https://cosocial.ca/@evan/110809723914430376

If you're serious about this, you could totally reach out to him, I'm sure he would love to hear from people in CBC

gods tagging someone's masto directly from lemmy, and them being able to directly respond via masto is just so fucking nice

@wisdomchicken it's funny that it seems like magic, since we're all on the same Internet. We've been conditioned to have such low expectations!

This has just opened my eyes. I get it now.

This whole thing makes sense.

Thank you.
