@BBCRD@social.bbc Hello and welcome to the Fediverse

Verification via a separate instance, nothing more about that 👍

Since you're experimenting, don't look solely at Mastodon, which feels more like a bike with the handbrake on compared to Pleroma, Akkoma, Calckey, Misskey and Firefish. And those are just the current micreoblogging services.

Glad you are here
