This is great to see, and I'm happy to see it's R&D doing it, they're definitely the right department to be trying things out.
It's nice to see the .bbc tld getting some use too! After a flurry following it being granted, they seemed to take down all the .bbc sites.
Bbc R&D is very cool, their blog is a great read and doing some very impressive work
We're now researching how everyone could get TV & radio via the internet
Weβve all been doing this for years already.
Weβre now working hard to get TV License tax added to your home internet bills
FTFY
Yup. Just need to double check the correct instance when open up an article at work or in public. Opening the wrong BBC instance would make things really awkward.
This morning I looked at the trending tab of my instance, and was pretty confused when #bbc was the first result. Glad that curiosity got the best of me though
I've yet to dabble in Mastodon, but this makes me want to properly check it out. Seems like it's only a matter of time before more big names start following suit
Definitely give it a try, although I would recommend Calckey/FireFish over Mastodon - it has more features.
Noted, thanks!
Mastodon etc is def the heart of the fediverse. I never used twitter, but I love Mastodon.
This is great. I assume they'll hope to federate with Threads, but I'm happy to follow them from Mastodon.
In case someone wants to pay a visit to that instance, its name is social.bbc (neither bbc.social nor bcc.social, as it appears on that crosspost).
Has this been corrected? I can't find where it's posted as bbc.social
Yes, now it's corrected. But when I wrote my first comment, it appeared as bcc.social.
