I hope more broadcasters will follow the BBC’s example and start running their own Mastodon servers.

It would be nice if the BBC instance had more accounts, like for breaking news, though. I know they’re just testing the waters, but they need to try having accounts posting things folks are the most interested in.

Was a interesting reaction from some in the fediverse stating they would block the BBC instance etc. In reality how welcome are entity’s that are seen as corporate?

It’s kind of ironic as despite having “corporation” in the name, the BBC is quite a “socialist” endeavour on how it’s funded and available to all uk citizens for a flat fee.

Socialist as in they send enforcers to your house who have the right to force themselves inside and check how many screens you have got feeding government propaganda into your skull.

You have to pay a TV licence to be lied to. Pretty sweet.
