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.

UPDATED: I've been trying to send a welcome message to every new user by hand... but it's hard with so many new people joining us!

Hello new neighbour, and welcome to Aus.Social!

Feel free to write an #Introduction / #introductions post. This hashtag is followed by people in our community.

Mastodon has a few teething issues, but aus.social is built to be a long term stable home for us all. If you experience any problems, please message me.

Asking questions is okay and encouraged! If you have any issues with people in the fediverse, please report them. Our mods are here to help.

Enjoy, and this place gets better with friends :)

We fully expect to receive a takedown demand for this story. We also think the stakes of this anti-censorship battle are too high not to publish it anyway.
