Hi! 👋 Here’s our #introduction. We’re BBC Research & Development; we explore and test new technology to discover how the BBC can best make use of it in the future. For 100 years our engineers have been at the forefront of developments in broadcasting. We’re now researching how everyone could get TV & radio via the internet – along with all the flexibility and creativity that brings. 5G, AI, next-gen audio, UHD, personal data… we are investigating all these – and more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzztGFXYR1Y
Would love to see more news outlets doing this.
Breaking News: Fox News has defederated NPR, PBS, BBC, NYT, Washington Post, The Associated Press, CNN, MSNBC, and various other mastodon instances run by what they deem as “the liberal woke media”. MSNBC defederates Fox News in retaliation.
I know you’re joking but it wouldn’t make much difference to users if news organisations defederated from each other, most users will be on 3rd party instances.
You know a large portion of the FOX audience would only use their echo chamber of an instance.
This is great to see, and I’m happy to see it’s R&D doing it, they’re definitely the right department to be trying things out.
It’s nice to see the .bbc tld getting some use too! After a flurry following it being granted, they seemed to take down all the .bbc sites.

We’ve all been doing this for years already.
We’re now working hard to get TV License tax added to your home internet bills
FTFY
Yup. Just need to double check the correct instance when open up an article at work or in public. Opening the wrong BBC instance would make things really awkward.
I’ve yet to dabble in Mastodon, but this makes me want to properly check it out. Seems like it’s only a matter of time before more big names start following suit
Definitely give it a try, although I would recommend Calckey/FireFish over Mastodon - it has more features.
