I hope more broadcasters will follow the BBC’s example and start running their own Mastodon servers.
It would be nice if the BBC instance had more accounts, like for breaking news, though. I know they’re just testing the waters, but they need to try having accounts posting things folks are the most interested in.
I even noticed that ARD and ZDF have their own Mastodon servers/instances. But I’m interested in how the BBC’s experimental Mastodon server would fare after their stated six-month time frame.

I wasn’t aware. What’s the BBC Mastodon server?
They’re just testing it out for now.
The BBC on Mastodon: experimenting with distributed and decentralised social media
Perfect. Thanks for the info.

I wish they had region or language specific accounts (bbc world service, bbc spanish, french, russian, etc.).
