I don't know. We already have mstdn.ca and it is free (as in speech) and supported by CIRA.

So y'all are against Chinese "state controlled" social media and whatever, complete with getting all high and mighty about how the state should never interfere in online platforms, but see nothing wrong with a Canadian state controlled social media?
It's different when it's our side. Are you not familiar with irregular sentence structures?
I am keeping an orderly society. You are flirting with facism. They are authoritarians. The Chinese are alien beings Hell-bent on the obliteration of humanity.
I am keeping our citizens alive. You are eliminating democratic protections for fleeting health. They are forcing people to wear masks. The Chinese are alien being Hell-bent on the obliteration of humanity.
Just remember whenever you see inexplicable contradictions in public stances that you're likely dealing with an irregular sentence structuring.
Would doing this be redundant to https://mstdn.ca who has a tie-in with the CIRA?
Or maybe CBC and mstdn.ca could work together?
On a cost level, yes it would make sense to leverage mstdn.ca but issue is that CBC wouldn't have the complete control & the instant brand recognition via hosting their own instance on their domain name.
It's also much better for the brand to have an account on social.cbc.ca. Something like [email protected] looks better on a branding perspective than [email protected]. It's no different than how organizations use their own domain for emails.

100% agree. Now they are free of catering to a billionaire's gamed anti-democratic algorithms. There's an opportunity to get back to REAL news reporting again.
