Mastodawn

BBC Research & Development Feb 13, 2024

We’ve just published an update about this Mastodon trial which has been running for the last 6 months – you can read it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2024-02-extending-our-mastodon-social-media-trial

We are going to continue our trial here for at least another six months while we share our findings internally and seek more engagement from other BBC teams. We are also planning to start researching ways to publish more BBC content using ActivityPub.

@BBCRD Hey, why aren't you over at Bluesky? :)

@nafnlaus @BBCRD They'd have to do loads more moderation over there, here it's mostly a "fire and forget" job

@furby @BBCRD I can only conclude based on this that you're not at Bluesky, because that doesn't describe it even remotely.

Also, you're not the BBC.
