We do all of this to bring audiences new, immersive and accessible experiences. We also look at how technology can help the production process. We prototype and test new tools, create datasets, open-source our work, work with partners in the industry and publish our research so that everyone can benefit. Find out more about all this on our website https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd Weβre now exploring Mastodon, so please follow us - weβll update you with what we are working on in our labs. πΊToot Toot!πΊ @BBCRD Maybe you could do something about your institutional transphobia while youβre at it. Many of us have long memories. @BBCRD Awesome! So I recognize I'm just yelling into the abyss right now, but what the people want is a 24 hour live feed of life from the perspective of a random stray cat. Multiple stray cats. You can call it BBC-C1, C2, etc. All the political bullshit, honestly everyone is tired of it. Give us some premium cat content. @BBCRD Croeso! @BBCRD@social.bbc @BBCRD You're pretty new here, so a bit of advice: Post cats. A lot. This is the Internet. And gay stuff. That also helps. @BBCRD oh hi! Looks like our paths overlap a fair bit! (I interacted with members of your team when I worked at Inrupt) @BBCRD Welcome! I hope social.bbc uses sakon as part of its fedi setup :-) @BBCRD Welcome to the Fediverse Aunty Beeb. I hope to see a lot more of you around here. π @BBCRD π Welcome. I've already found something cool that I'd like to use from your colleagues @Connected_Studio - thanks for joining us! @BBCRD hi watching tv via internet is a no brainer *but i'm still very happy with my plain tv and no streaming services*. What i'm really looking forward too is getting all of the bbc news departments here so that news organisation in other countries *like my own* can see that this is alo a good place to be. But welcome, hope you will stick around. Have fun. @BBCRD, welcome to the fediverse. It's about time. I have this vision of wonderful folk who believe in the BBC doing good for the people of the UK and beyond. With your own server? Very nice. Im following. I'm a big fan of the BBC. Welcome to Mastodon, BBCRD. Great to see you here, and thank you for your informative intro thread. Looking forward to reading your posts! @BBCRD Glad to see the tone has changed from a few months ago where you didn't have much interest in this. (re https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-02-metaverse-transparency-social-big-tech ) You are probably one of the best positioned organisations ("large player with plenty of clout" as you put it) to figure out how to make the fediverse work and be more accessible. Looking forward to seeing what you build |
