   BBC Research & Development (bbcrd@social.bbc)'s status on Tuesday, 01-Aug-2023 00:22:12 JST BBC Research & Development

   Hello to our new followers, which, for the one and only time, is everyone...

   We'll be verifying our account very soon, but in the meantime, our top level domain should hopefully help confirm our identity, and we've also written about why we're here on Mastodon, what was involved to get here, and the other BBC accounts you can follow.

   Say hi, follow and give us a boost!

     @mikarv Erm, ccTLD are country-code TLDs, I don't think the BBC is a country. ^^

     great to see @BBCRD and @BBCRadio4 etc on the fediverse...! although buying a ccTLD is an expensive way to verify yourself (upward of $150k...)

     @SuperDicq @BBCRD They originally called it "Mastodon" and proceeded to go with it. But they edited the post.

     @BBCRD@social.bbc This is actually a really good article:
     
     ✅ Not just calling it "Mastodon".
     ✅ Fediverse mentioned and explained.
     Bonus points: Dutch government mentioned.
     
     You did your research, well done and welcome.

     @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @mikarv @lanodan Don't do this. Make benign posts that could get a lot of reposts, then edit them to replace them with the most obscene vitriol a human could spew when the reposters are none the wiser.

     @mikarv @lanodan Edits don't federate well. Try not to edit posts, just take it on the chin when you make a mistake.

     @mikarv @Kerosene @lanodan I mean that it often looks like two entirely different posts, so shits up how threads look when people reply to an earlier version of your post.

     @Kerosene @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @lanodan you mean that the activitypub update activity might not federate to reposted versions, or that it creates traffic to servers? not sure either of these is a reason not to do it, especially when it’s low stakes and the alternative is slightly misleading people.

     @Kerosene @lanodan @mikarv But the obscene vitriol usually gets more reposts anyway.
