CBC bails on Twitter.

@timbray

Now someone just needs to explain to them why running their own fediverse servers would be the appropriate thing to do

@timbray About time. Why any respectable organization is still playing Musk's game is baffling to me.

Now they just need to get on the Fediverse.

@TheSaanichDaily @timbray agree. Time to leave X and start their own server. The more news organizations that do this the more likely it is that X is finished.
@timbray
CBC did the right thing, and brought us back with them.
@timbray @timbray I don't like that bit about "pausing their activities". Why so tepid? Why leave the door open to going back to Musk's madhouse?
@timbray THIS is what brings me to Mastodon
@timbray Maybe you can convince them to either set up their own server or join cosocial.ca.
@timbray the English/French here tells me they are serious. I love the Canadian Government's dual language system, even when I hate it.
@timbray I hope they come to #fediverse or #mastodon , every public media should have a presence here

@timbray "Our journalism is impartial and independant"... not always... so, No.

@timbray Wow! That is one of the most angry posts I have ever seen from a Canadian account. They didn’t even say β€œsorry”.
@timbray I love how none of the journalist accounts are leaving fully. They are all "pausing". Like they have hope that it will eventually get better and they can return.
@timbray I thought the reporters would bail on Twitter long ago and drag the news organizations with them, but they are (disappointingly) hanging on and only being led away by their bosses.
@timbray is CBC radio on Mastodon?
Try a search for "CBC" in your masto client.
@timbray I'd be so happy if CBCPEI started posing on Mastodon. It's what I miss most about not being on Twitter anymore.
@timbray Yes! I want to see a mass migration out of Twitter and Facebook! How is it possible that technology as we know it can be bought and manipulated by rich ego maniacs
@timbray ELON MUSK NAZI TWITTER = MAGA 1 MILLION ANTI-VACCINE COVID DEATHS

@timbray

pausing?

on a site that has closed algos and acts like it does?

embarrassing

#journalism

@timbray is #de-network effect a thing?
@timbray Heck yeah! A cause for celebration. May all journalists and all media organizations depart Elon's nazi bar ASAP.

@timbray

Elon "room-clearer" Musk

@timbray *pausing* their activity on Twitter - that's the strength of conviction we expect from the CBC!
@timbray CBC is partial. Their news is based on government mandates and is federally funded. While most of their reporters are impartial it is incorrect for them to say the company is impartial.
@timbray excellent. All real news and decent people should leave Twitter.
Leave the fascists to argue among themselves. They are the enemy of free people.
@timbray I support NPR & CBC 100% !
@timbray Now to get them to set up hereabouts. No matter what happens at Twitter next.
