I agree
I emailed CBC a while back and asked them about opening an instance on Mastodon. They said they'd think about it. :/
I'll bet the decision making process is bogged down with red tape.
Yup.
They'd have to have/hire round-the-clock, dedicated mods and CBC's budget may not allow for that rn ... esp with right-wingers screaming about "but muh tax dollars!"
You can set up an instance that doesn't allow regular users to register. CBC would host and could create as many of its own accounts as necessary, and users from other instances could follow those accounts.
That's what I would expect. Basically a fancier RSS.
They'd still need to give some thought to federation management though. They might want to de-federate from instances with incompatible moderation standards.
