I saw one arts instance has defederated on the grounds that the BBC is a transphobic organisation. I would personally dispute that.

I think those people need to realise this is a massive step up for the fediverse. The BBC literally has global reach.

Eh, the BBC has definitely been involved in spreading transphobia.

I still think their joining the Fediverse is a good thing for the adoption of decentralised social media.

Both of those things can be true.
