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 (@evan@cosocial.ca) , 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 @Hazzard absolutely! Hazzard, I’d love to discuss!
gods tagging someone’s masto directly from lemmy, and them being able to directly respond via masto is just so fucking nice
This has just opened my eyes. I get it now.
This whole thing makes sense.
Thank you.
Welcome to the club! I did an audible ‘oooooh’ the first time ActivityPub really clicked with me lol.
@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!
