The BBC on Mastodon: experimenting with distributed and decentralised social media
bbc.co.uk

"As the social media landscape ebbs and flows, the team at BBC Research & Development are researching social technologies and exploring possibilities for the BBC. One part of our work is to establish a BBC presence in the distributed collection of social networks known as the Fediverse, a collection of social media applications all linked together by common protocols. The most common software used in this area is Mastodon, a Twitter-like social networking service with around 2 million active monthly users. We are now running an experimental BBC Mastodon server at https://social.bbc where you can follow some of the BBC’s social media accounts, including BBC R&D, Radio 4 and 5 Live. We hope to be able to add more accounts from other areas of the BBC at some point."

the BBC loves to push genocide denial, what a wonderful group of people over there in jolly old England

What are you referring to? Legitimately curious

What's their instance on Palestinian genocide by Israel?

Is there an editorial about it? They do have a bias, as all news networks do, but I didn't see any statements about Israel and Palestine other than facts.

I am talking about their bias and misinformation they spread regarding other countries. I mean, they recently have done a whole thing about personality cult in some countries while at the same fucking time England arrest people that won't bow to their new king.

You talk a lot without any links backing you up.

We don't know. What is it?
You know, link us to something.

Sauce plox.

Update: I asked for proof, got downvoted and op updated their comment completely with no mention of the original comment. Super cool.

What do you mean?

For example, I think the atrocities committed by russia against Ukraine is pretty well covered so they do not deny russian fascist behaviour at all. Heck, they report on china being buddy-buddy with russia and thus china supporting the war on Ukraine is also covered nicely. I think the BBC is doing fine. Unless you live under the fascist rule of these countries, then you suddenly cannot see clearly anymore. Is that perhaps your problem, that you live in one these shitholes?
