    I hadn’t heard about it either but according to their blog post announcing it, it’s https://social.bbc

    Apparently they’ll be running it for six months and then determining if it’s worth continuing to operate.

      isn’t it pretty hard to determine if it’s worthwhile if they aren’t going all-in on making it an interesting place with breaking news & accounts for certain types of news etc?

        That’s my feeling. They’ve created 4 accounts for things people can’t really interact with. Making a sports account on Mastodon, which is honestly most populated by tech nerds? Y’all. No. You’re doing it wrong.

        Even one news account would be so much more useful.

          Why do you assume someone into tech wouldn’t also like sports?

            Because they are not assuming that. What they’re assuming is less overlap on a Venn diagram.

            Ok, going by this and your other reply to me, you’re looking for an argument, and I won’t be giving it to you.

              Why do you even posting on forums if the thought of a conversation is that frightening to you you assume the other party is looking for a row?

              Either way, I’ll leave you too it, no offence intended, enjoy your day.
