This is interesting, hosting their own server. It is kinda like truth.social.....but with actual truth.

Please do not link anything the Orange Idiot is associated with to a state sponsored service. Truth.social is so far separated from the BBC or any US sponsored service they may as well be in separate universes.

What the BBC is doing would be akin to NPR or PBS starting a Mastodon instance, which I’m all for.

I saw a bunch of people getting upset and defederating cause apparently the BBC is transphobic. I followed because I've got hardly anything interesting to look at on mastodon.

What did they do that is supposedly transphobic?

I know this isn't a convenient response, but Shaun has been leading some concentrated pushback against BBC's transphobia for like a year. Check out some of his recent videos for a detailed answer. https://youtube.com/@Shaun_vids
