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.

@Hazzard @grte

Yes, this can actually be done. There's a tool called #MastoFeed that allows you to post RSS content to the fediverse. Some publications like #DarkReading are exploring using MastoFeed to publish their articles.

Their account can be found here: https://infosec.town/@darkreading

That being said, not sure if a bot account is what people are hoping for if #CBC decides to join the fediverse...
