       @brodiefenlon when will CBC News join us & lead by example? Sen. Paula Simons asked:“Why is CBC still on X — full of hate & disinfo — & not exploring Mastodon, a non-commercial, Canadian-friendly space for public media?”NPR 🇺🇸 & ABC Australia 🇦🇺 left X, proving you can walk from billionaire-run chaos & still reach ppl. Let’s ask CBC to join the ppl’s social media — the Fediverse. Boost & tag @CBCNews to follow their own EIC here!https://youtu.be/lJUeQZlvD-E #CBC @Paulatics #Canada #cdnpoli

       CBC says it “can’t simply walk away” from X because govts still post there. A similar excuse was used by Western firms to stay in Nazi Germany — “we had to be where the market was.” X’s owner throws Nazi salutes & backs the far-right AfD. CBC’s choice to stay is complicity, not journalism. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-role-of-business-elites#CBC #Fediverse #cdnpoli #boycottusa

       @Paulatics Doesn't appear to me that they've thought very hard about this nor that they have a strategy at all. Platforms don't come and go and they are free. And they owe us the outreach. So hire some students to do the work as that's where the young people are.

       @gnomeoffenderPlatforms most certainly *do* come and go.   And "free" has many conflicting meanings.   If you think CBC owes us "outreach," you might consider starting a grassroots campaign to  drum up better stable funding for it.@Paulatics

       @laurelrusswurm @Paulatics a more full some answer is shared here by Claude.aiAs we're moving more quickly to a secure / sharing age (Blink doorbell cameras for police use) we should have no reservations about all the reasons why foreign platforms continue to take our sovereign data. https://claude.ai/share/d8a36c25-18d4-4dde-a0f3-45a90a5161dc The link is public and covers quite well this topic.

       @Paulatics @brodiefenlon To me, it's been so painfully obvious that Carney could do a cost-free Trump-like political stunt that gains attention, gets press, and is hard to complain about: get the Feds off Twitter and loudly insist that the provincial administrations do the same.  Then the munis.How many Twitter accounts do our 3 levels of government have?   How many journalists only stay on to follow gov't announcements?But it's free - Trump can hardly bitch about lost "business"...

       @Paulatics@mstdn.ca @saskboy @RoyBrander You are not alone in calling for this sort of thing https://www.facebook.com/jeff.cliff/posts/pfbid02RCExeU8Y6FGcdLxEZWxjDARxFhBKkUeJgx4wTvYKSXvzFg5d4zLur3LvDf7XFVoel? https://shitposter.world/notice/AsmjdQDNG1NvMZoVBw
