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.

    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.

      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.

    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

    In case someone wants to pay a visit to that instance, its name is social.bbc (neither bbc.social nor bcc.social, as it appears on that crosspost).

        I mean… the fact that elements within the BBC covered up the activities of Saville isn’t really disputable. That’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s just a crushing reality. Best case scenario, the BBC just negligently dropped the ball as an organisation for decades and that just specific individuals swept it under the rug and avoided detection. Whether that tarnishes the entire the entire organisation forever varies based on opinion.
