As it says in the title, the BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance. I think the CBC (and other news networks) should do similar. Particularly with the recent passing of Bill C-18 it seems like a world where the links we share are crossposts to news organization's own content is the perfect resolution to that whole issue.

Some instances (at least mastodon.art) are already blocking them.

What's the reason to block them? Doesn't it genuinely expand the fediverse?

If you read the linked thread, it's because of the BBC's increased bigotry toward LGBT+ people over the past few years.
