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.

Evan Prodromou (@[email protected]) , one of the co-authors of ActivityPub is super interest in getting Canadian news organisations on board the fediverse. He gave a talk about that last night actually: https://cosocial.ca/@evan/110809723914430376

If you're serious about this, you could totally reach out to him, I'm sure he would love to hear from people in CBC

@wisdomchicken it's funny that it seems like magic, since we're all on the same Internet. We've been conditioned to have such low expectations!
