    I hope they start their own fediverse. Lemmy or mastodon would be great.

        It really makes the most sense. I mean, all these big companies manage their own webservers and mail servers, why shouldn’t they also host a Mastodon server?

      Yeah it was amazing to see even the BBC start up their own instance and join Mastodon. Hope something similar happens here.

        Last time I checked, they were just mirroring Xcrements with links to said Xcrement :/ talk about a half-assed attempt.

        PS: turns out I was catastrophically wrong, they have an instance with the works e.g. BBC_News_Labs@social.bbc
