WOW! The BBC now has an instance!

"The team at BBC Research & Development are researching social technologies and exploring possibilities for the #BBC. One part of our work is to establish a BBC presence in the Fediverse... This is an experiment - we will run it for 6 months, and then look at how much value it has provided"

I'd love to see social media as a public media capacity, to enable the world to use social media for the public good, not just to make corporations richer. More like PBS and NPR, but social media SERVICE, beyond public media simply having social media accounts. Mastodon could be the platform. Love seeing BBC dipping in its toes here. @mastodonmigration @BBCRD @BBC5Live @BBCRadio4 @BBC_News_Labs @BBCTaster @Connected_Studio
