The 2 biggest psychopaths join forces, true crime people, and tech bros
Honestly, this is really good to hear! More mainstream accounts will definitely get the fediverse a bit more credibility.
And here’s a bit more from BBC:
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 Fediverse.
This is an experiment - we will run it for 6 months, and then look at how much value it has provided, how much work it requires to maintain and then decide whether and how to continue. We’re learning as we go, and we’ll write about what we discover in the hope that it might be useful for others. The BBC will continue its normal social media activity in the usual places.
We’re starting off small with just a handful of accounts from R&D and our colleagues at BBC Radio, but we hope to be adding more accounts from other areas of the BBC soon:

I don’t like when people say “AI just traces/photobashes art.” Because that simply isn’t what happens.
But I do very much wish there was some sort of opt-out process, but ultimately any attempt at that just wouldn’t work
Reddit realized that they don’t even have to try to hide the messaging. Their audience will stay, and think that they’re making a difference by saying Fuck Spez everywhere
“Our logo is our most recognizable asset. That’s why we’re so protective of it.” -Twitter’s (Currently Outdated) Brand Toolkit Page
What the fuck are you talking about
Yeah, this “Omg Facetrash lost all their users, they have such a dead platform lol” is stupid. I dislike Meta, but it’s a new social media, of course not every single user who checks it out will stay, that’s how it is for all new social medias, video games, anything
Ah, that’s fair. Do you think you’ve changed your mind on it, or do you believe that it’s sort of a con of these platforms?
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was done through cryptocurrency like Reddit’s done before.
A few years ago Reddit started to give community specific cryptocurrencies depending on how much karma the user got. I think it was only launched on the Fortnite and Cryptocurrency subreddits, and I’d say giving cryptocurrency to a community of mostly young Fortnite fans seems immoral, but not surprising for Reddit.
Thank god it’s only 1% alcohol. Wouldn’t want to put anything harmful in my body
Maybe I’m crazy, but I kinda doubt that this is likely to be killed off. It’s not it’s own platform like Reddit, it just takes content that’s more likely to be made by people from websites like Reddit, blogs, and other social media platforms and puts it all in one place.
But who knows with Google.
I don’t follow news with Epic much, but what do they have to do with Starfield or physical games?
Last time Bethesda said anything about the Elder Scrolls 6 they said it was in preproduction. I doubt they’ll really start working on it until Starfield is out.
“No no no, the different instances and stuff aren’t competing. You see they all grow together”
I hate living in a world where undercover agents are sent to all ages “Drag Queen Christmas” events
Yeah, it is very possible for us to not let Meta win. Acting like the Fediverse is doomed isn’t productive at all.
Glad to be here for the first true piece of Lemmy history o7
Beehaw said that they blocked some instances like lemmy.world because they were getting lots of trolls and hateful people from those instances, and they don’t have the moderation tools to ban each offending account, so their best option was to defederate from those instances.
Beehaw admins did say though that they were willing to refederate, and I believe are working with some of the admins of the other instances to refederate.
But I also believe that the job of the Beehaw devs shouldn’t make the platform that is the easiest to migrate too, but instead should be to make the platform that is best for their community.
It would be if there wasn’t a very simple way to completely disable pocket
