@rotan @BBCRD @BBC_News_Labs @Connected_Studio @BBCRadio4 @BBC5Live agreed, it's like doing a trial without actually trying... Large media orgs like the BBC could drive huge numbers of people to Mastodon and drive growth and engagement across the board. As it is I've seen little or anything of the BBC content I know and love - news, weather, etc. and the brand continues to get diluted by bots and scam accounts trading on the BBC name.

Yes, by promoting those centralised platforms on the websites, the BBC is recommending people join Twitter and Facebook, telling people they are good. Thus driving people to toxic networks. But not towards any decentralised networks.
Then you say you are judging "how many people weβd reach" when you are actually 'influencing' where people are.
I must assume the BBC receive advertising money from those adverts?
This makes the BBC look out of touch.
