 @BBCRD @BBC5Live @BBCRadio4 @BBC_News_Labs @BBCTaster @Connected_Studio 4) Another benefit to the BBC of being a private instance is that they can apply style rules across all the accounts conforming to their general standards. 5) And, of course, a huge #PrivateInstance benefit is that it automatically verifies all content is from the BBC. Congratulations to the BBC for a well thought out and beautifully executed entry into the Fediverse. Welcome! 5 comments
@BrianPierce @mastodonmigration I have a few emails in my Drafts folder about this. Is this the week they get sent? @mastodonmigration @BBCRD @BBC5Live @BBCRadio4 @BBC_News_Labs @BBCTaster @Connected_Studio I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this, but their implementation is exactly how I thought instances should be handled by individuals of renown, organizations and corporations. Make a whole private instance that becomes the verification of identity, and a channel of communication with the community and with itself. 99% of the time, they already own domains and websites, anyway. @mastodonmigration @BBCRD @BBC5Live @BBCRadio4 @BBC_News_Labs @BBCTaster @Connected_Studio Umm ... 'groundbreaking' ? ard.social some might say the beeb are a tad late to the party (though no idea quite what constitutes being fashionably late under such circumstances).  @mastodonmigration @BBCRD @BBC5Live @BBCRadio4 @BBC_News_Labs @BBCTaster @Connected_Studio No one should be under any illusion that Mastodon is the definite solution to all social media problems out there, but it can only be evaluated by a solid period of investment and engagement, like the #BBC are doing here. |
