gods tagging someone's masto directly from lemmy, and them being able to directly respond via masto is just so fucking nice

Also, you might want to take a look at https://zdf.social/@ZDF and https://ard.social/

ZDF and ARD are the two biggest broadcasters in Germany, and they both have their own ActivityPub (Mastodon) server.

In case you needed some extra convincing that other large mainstream news organisations also have realised that this is actually a good idea that makes sense ;)

A big news org from France is also on Mastodon with like 50k followers, but I cannot remember the name right now

Evan Prodromou (@evan@cosocial.ca) , one of the co-authors of ActivityPub is super interest in getting Canadian news organisations on board the fediverse. He gave a talk about that last night actually: https://cosocial.ca/@evan/110809723914430376

If you're serious about this, you could totally reach out to him, I'm sure he would love to hear from people in CBC
