Ben WerdmullerThe BBC extends its Mastodon experiment for another six months: "We are also planning to start some technical work into investigating ways to publish BBC content more widely using ActivityPub." #Technology https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2024-02-extending-our-mastodon-social-media-trial?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon
Ardy’s@ben peertube maybe?
Carlos Solís@ben Hopefully that means hooking their WordPress blogs to the Fediverse!
Jon Tromans@ben Its a really positive read. Would be great to see all staff with official BBC handles, a bit more trust.
I would imagine if they look the leap other orgs would follow.
Chris Sansbury@ben It amazes me how quickly and thoughtlessly the BBC have opened social media accounts over the years, and yet on Mastodon, where they have full control of their own server, it takes months and months of careful testing and experimentation.
starfrostThis is actually how the BBC reacted to the Internet existing as a whole. They opened up special subject-interest sites around things like the budget (really!) and elections, and Diana's death, beginning in 1994, but didn't launch bbc news online until early 1998:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/politics97/diana/
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/politics97/
the others from 1995-96 died in the late 2000s but you can find them here http://www.currybet.net/cbet_blog/2005/04/budget-95-on-bbccouk.php
@starfrost @ben oh wow that’s interesting. It’s amazing how collective minds filled in the blanks in their history.
Kevin RussellBBC is a festering sore of lies and Propaganda, its Idiot appointed CEO is a money bags, a funder of Tories, gave hundreds of thousands of pounds to the now far right Conservative Party.
Sunack, the self-serving dim bulb who is con PM made a PERSONAL/FAMILY business deal worth a Billion pounds with an oil company, then opened more of the North Sea to oil drilling.
Fecal.
PatrikSpurzem@ben guck an.

MylesRydenWhether or not you like the BBC per se, boost this to encourage them and all other media organizations to set up their own instances and get federated!
Matt@ben yay!
Dwev@ben they should make all their podcasts compatible with the Podcasting 2.0 standard, and then distribute that via the fediverse. https://podcasting2.org/
enmodo ⚛️ 🧬 🇺🇦 🍉@ben very happy to hear that although I cannot recall seeing anything from them in my feed. I wish they would just start publishing their BBC News stories here - even if it is just BBC World News that would be huge.

@ben Congrats @cubicgarden 👍

They need to put more tags on their posts to make them filterable. I don't care about *all* sports all the time.
