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.
Hope you’re able to get it in front of the right eyes! Running an instance that is verifiably yours is basically the blue check mark of the fediverse (for something like a news org, at least)
