As it says in the title, the BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance. 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.

This seems very awesome! I'd love to see them go as far as having their own Lemmy instance too!

I feel this move helps legitimize Mastodon in a way that other companies follow suit to get away from the mess that twitter is now.

The Dutch government and the city of Amsterdam have their own instance too.
