They should really switch to Mastodon and host their own instance, just like the German public broadcast service: ard.social
Btw I just realized that the BBC and NPR are also experimenting with Mastodon, the BBC even has their own instance: https://social.bbc/about
Looks like it's being used, that's cool. https://social.bbc/public
looks like npr abandoned that account in 2020
Damn, didn't realize that. That's pretty unfortunate.
Didnt even know abou that...
That's way too progressive.
Especially compared to their YT-channel
They are not even listing it on their website. Neither for ard.de nor tagesschau.de
I never use the YouTube channels to watch their content, I prefer to watch that stuff right from the ARD/ZDF media library using an open-source application called MediathekView (GitHub). There's also a web version.
