This will be a game changer for idiots.

Like Elon Musk, the richest man ever who is best friends with the president?

Insane take.

Yeah I think that could work. It would depend on other instances federating, but I think they could count on that happening.

as you also don’t seem to want “a CBC”

I literally said:

I want CBC to focus on news. It’s important that we get information.

So you want something like a PBS of the internet (or public access), rather than a CBC. Maybe somebody should make a Canadian Media Fediverse Syndicate or something like that. Maybe you could do it! I don’t want to moderate that kind of thing though. I want CBC to focus on news. It’s important that we get information.

I disagree. They should spend less on flashy nonsense (expensive sets) and scripted drama/comedy, but they should set and maintain journalistic standards among professionals. The internet provides enough citizen journalism. We need professionals with dedicated beats, anchors and analysts who really know their domains, long-form journalism and documentaries. Professionalism more than ever. It’s seriously lacking.

So it’s their own private instance that people view from the outside. This might be a reasonable way to publish.

That would be interesting. But CBC absolutely hates public engagement. Plus I cringe at the thought of 75% of the CBC budget being spent on content moderation.

Why doesn’t the Tyee start their own Mastodon server?
