     The reaction to #BBC joining the fediverse, is a demonstration of why we can't have nice things.

     The BBC is a cultural powerhouse making a huge contribution to British society, promoting a diverse range of viewpoints and content.

     It should be celebrated that such an organisation has chosen to join is a great day.

     The poor state of the news org is a reflection that BBC executives are appointed by politicians and its coverage, often a reflection of the worst parts of society.
