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!
@evan @wisdomchicken @Hazzard I’m afraid that I missed your talk on ActivityPub, Evan. Do you know if a replay is available somewhere?
@romaniuk @wisdomchicken @Hazzard I haven’t put it up yet. It’s not specifically about ActivityPub; it’s about how Canadian media can get on the fediverse.
gods tagging someone’s masto directly from lemmy, and them being able to directly respond via masto is just so fucking nice
@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!
This has just opened my eyes. I get it now.
This whole thing makes sense.
Thank you.
