Yes, this can actually be done. There’s a tool called #MastoFeed that allows you to post RSS content to the fediverse. Some publications like #DarkReading are exploring using MastoFeed to publish their articles.
Their account can be found here: https://infosec.town/@darkreading
That being said, not sure if a bot account is what people are hoping for if #CBC decides to join the fediverse…
@SlikPikker Would using an RSS reader help with navigation? Allows you to follow CBC News without having to dig through their website.
You can find the RSS list here: https://www.cbc.ca/rss/

On a cost level, yes it would make sense to leverage mstdn.ca but issue is that CBC wouldn’t have the complete control & the instant brand recognition via hosting their own instance on their domain name.
It’s also much better for the brand to have an account on social.cbc.ca. Something like cbcnews@social.cbc.ca looks better on a branding perspective than cbcnews@mstdn.ca. It’s no different than how organizations use their own domain for emails.
