BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance. The CBC should do the same.

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.

  • Yeah, this is such a great thing. Really hope CBC takes note and follows.

    Also, hope this is a success.

  • I agree. Hosting a "Twitter" alternative yourself that you can control. And bringing news to people on other platforms. You need big players on the alternative platforms to make them viable for more people.

  • 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.
