Hello everyone! We've joined the fediverse as part of an experiment with our friends from BBC Research & Development. Read more about it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-mastodon-distributed-decentralised-fediverse-activitypub
@BBCRadio4 welcome to the party!
@BBCRadio4 glad to have you all here!
@BBCRadio4 Welcome aboard! (Use #hashtags!)
@BBCRadio4 Welcome to the #fediverse. I hope I don't need a licence to read your toots. I will miss you when you close down #longwave.
@nickb333 @BBCRadio4 hopefully we can expect The Shipping Forecast here instead
@nickb333 @BBCRadio4 Closing LW is very shortsighted #Ukraine needs news
@GaryMortimer
They certainly do and they shouldn't be held to ransom by Elmo's starlink.
@BBCRadio4
@BBCRadio4 Yea. Welcome to the better social Network !
@BBCRadio4 In Our Time is my favourite radio show/podcast ever, so count me in as a fan. I'm chuffed to see you all here!
@BBCRadio4 Welcome. I take it the mad X rebranding was the final straw? You will be relieved to know it is quite nice here; even relatively sane.
@BBCRadio4 This is excellent. I hope it's a success
@BBCRadio4 please ad Asia Network
@BBCRadio4 welcome aboard
@BBCRadio4 can't wait for the @mornington.crescent@bbc.social feed, to keep up up to date with the rules.
@BBCRadio4 Welcome. Hope you’ll be doing news on the #Mastodon soon. Don’t forget to use a couple of hashtags. Cheers.
@BBCRadio4 Fair warning: you are going to get a chilly reception from many corners of the fediverse due to the BBC's institutional transphobia.
@bstacey @BBCRadio4 BBC, where the truth goes to die.
@BBCRadio4 Hitting that follow button faster than a heartbeat!
BBC Radio 4 has taught me a love for podcasts. Currently Dr. Michael Mosley is my favourite companion on my morning runs.
@BBCRadio4 Have fun!!
@BBCRadio4 can't wait for the @mornington.crescent@bbc.social feed, to keep up up to date with the rules.
@BBCRadio4 nice to see you here!
@BBCRadio4 please get the rest of the BBC on here including BBC breaking news
@BBCRadio4 Please post shortwave shows and their frequencies. I’d love to listen the fun way!
@BBCRadio4 Herzlich Willkommen
@BBCRadio4 Welcome! It’s very nice to see you here
@BBCRadio4 oh great, so you can spread the BBCs racism & transphobia here. No thanks.
@GwenfarsGarden @BBCRadio4 Yes indeed, knowing Twitter is on it's arse the BBC are looking for new outlets for their gaslighting. BBC, where the truth goes to die.
@BBCRadio4 It would be great to follow your official account rather than a bot. Welcome!
@BBCRadio4
Excellent news!
Welcome (even though I'll be critical of you at times).
@BBCRadio4 glad to read you from Spain!
@BBCRadio4 glad to see you all here. I hope the experiment is a success. Think you set up your Fediverse presence well!
@BBCRadio4 welcome to the fediverse! I hope you enjoy your stay.
@BBCRadio4 The best news this month! Welcome. Can't wait to subscribe to your Breaking News. How does Chris Mason like being stuck in the studio early in the mornings rather than shoving his mike into politicians' faces onsite? You make the world a better place!
@BBCRadio4 Welcome you will find this much nicer than the other place
@BBCRadio4 I'm glad to see The BBC on the fediverse.
@BBCRadio4 Cool! I'd be nice if you added an account dedicated to news.
@BBCRadio4 A bold move. Hopefully SVT (your Swedish counterpart) take notice and follow your good example.
@nemorosa @BBCRadio4 Well SR but i hope both comes here.
@BBCRadio4 I wanna watch BBC stuff because I love the dry humor. In the US though so
@BBCRadio4 sweet! Welcome!!
@BBCRadio4 Welcome to the Fediverse, where all the cool kids hang out.
@BBCRadio4 Listener from Akron, Ohio, USA here. My favorite DJs are Gilles Peterson, Jams Supernova, Craig Charles, and Iggy Pop.
Glad you joined us!
@BBCRadio4 My bad. I got excited and saw what I wanted to see. I thought this was a Radio 6 account.
I still love you too Radio 4! I love the Infinite Monkey Cage.
@BBCRadio4 delighted to see you here. Hope you stick around past the 6 month trial!
@BBCRadio4 I hope this experiment leads to many favourable findings. All the best and have fun out there!
@BBCRadio4 welcome... I'm looking forward to #GQT turning up too..
@BBCRadio4
Brilliant for you to join us. #bbcradio4
@BBCRadio4 welcome, bbc!
@BBCRadio4 woohoo! I love the month-old Friday Night Comedy! I really do listen to every episode. It's funny though, how The Now Show had its own podcast server before the BBC launched their own (and later moved to Sounds). It's a bit like having their own social media account before the BBC started a Mastodon server.
@BBCRadio4 @cheerfulmadness @dyadya_boris BBC Radio 4 is on Mastodon
@BBCRadio4 Welcome! I look forward to seeing how this effort pans out.
@BBCRadio4 Welcome! I do hope we can get some nice Vogon poetry!
@BBCRadio4 Welcome to the federation
@BBCRadio4 standing by for mind control
