Nice, more official instances/accounts are the best potential catalyst for mainstream adoption.

So it was them, they better restrict heavily who can use it or it'll become full of a very specific kind of porn...

All domains in the .BBC registry will remain the property of the BBC and will, subject to the .BBC Registry DMP and the BBC Domain Manager’s approval, be available to users of BBC divisions, departments and⁄or subsidiaries for a period of between 1 year and 10 years.

sounds like this TLD is in good hands

Can I go there without a TV license?

[-] CouldntCareBear@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Yes you can. A TV licence is only for if you watch live TV or use BBC iPlayer.

Offizielle ARD und ZDF? Super nice, gleich mal schauen. Aktuell folge ich da nur irgendwelchen inoffiziellen Bots.

Es treibt mir eine Freudenträne ins Äuglein, dass zur Abwechslung mal was sinnvolles mit den GEZ Beiträgen gemacht wird.

Jetzt nur noch abwarten bis kommerzielle/werbegestützte Social-Media-Anbieter gegen öffentlich-rechtliche wegen Wettbewerbsverzerrung im Bereich der Sozialen Medien klagen.

Berechtigter Einwand, eine Plattform für Microblogging, die demokratischen Grundsätzen folgt und nicht Hass für Klicks propagiert, würde ich sogar noch im Informationsauftrag sehen. Viel mehr als bspw. das ganze Rentnerentertainment.

Is it possible to follow them through Lemmy?
