As it says in the title, the BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance. I think the CBC (and other news networks) should do similar. Particularly with the recent passing of Bill C-18 it seems like a world where the links we share are crossposts to news organization's own content is the perfect resolution to that whole issue.

At some point, a lot of server will start to be defederated and some big player will start to be more trust-worthy. Just like email servers.

One cannot start sending email with their own server without proving it's reliable first.

I hope that we, as a society (the gov), make a process on how to become a trusted server instead of relying on the free market for this because right now, it's very hard to send emails without being blacklisted by every major email provider.
