While #NPR and #PBS have quit #Twitter (without mentioning #Mastodon however), Germany's biggest public broadcaster #ARD and #ZDF are not only already testing their own instances for quite a while (https://dev.ard.social/public/local & https://zdf.social/public/local): The first proper account is now live and posts news articles from northern Germany – @NDR

Let's see, if NPR and PBS find their way here. Oh and where is the #BBC?

Die offizielle DEV-Mastodon-Instanz der Arbeitsgemeinschaft der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (ARD). Bestimmt für die redaktionellen Angebote der ARD.

@mho @NDR the BBC have been consistently and disgracefully sympathetic to Musk (excluding a few instances where even they couldn't remain positive) so don't expect them here any time soon.
@ljs @mho @NDR
The BBC has been taken over by the Conservative party, no doubt space Karen has donated so there will be uniformly good coverage of his acts

@julesbl @ljs @mho @NDR

We only have to watch their cowardly coverage of the role of #Brexit in making everything worse for the UK, #CostOfLivingCrisis, #FoodSafety, #pollution, #healthcare, etc to know that the BBC lack the balls needed to follow NPR out the door of the Nazi bar
