"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."

I mean, while that's fair, they cover worldwide as well, I'd say most of the news they cover is worldwide.

Thats true. I'm not in an english speaking country so their news generally don't reach me.

[-] interloper@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's not global coverage but they do have channels in select countries.

In fact their world coverage is some what objetive because their coverage of UK is a disgusting exercise in bootlicking.
