As it says in the title, the BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance
[https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-mastodon-distributed-decentralised-fediverse-activitypub].
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.
Some instances (at least mastodon.art) are already blocking them.
mastodon.art/@Curator/110809888584495290
Blocked the BBC instance (social.bbc) before any connections were formed there.
As per our rules:
"The following types of content [...] may result in account suspension and revocation of access to the service:
Discrimination against gender and sexual minorities, or advocation thereof"
and
"We will block, suspend, or silence any instance which permits any of the content or behaviour prohibited by this instance."
As soon as they stop being transphobic we'll lift the block. :artpeek:
What’s the reason to block them? Doesn’t it genuinely expand the fediverse?
