"2) Because it is a #PrivateInstance they do not have to perform the difficult job of vetting and monitoring users. This problem is left to public instances which have the resources to do the job."
This is incorrect. If they federate with all servers the worse of the worse will be filling their replies and leaving them acting as both a relay and platform for hate speech

4) Another benefit to the BBC of being a private instance is that they can apply style rules across all the accounts conforming to their general standards.

5) And, of course, a huge #PrivateInstance benefit is that it automatically verifies all content is from the BBC.

Congratulations to the BBC for a well thought out and beautifully executed entry into the Fediverse. Welcome!

2) Because it is a #PrivateInstance they do not have to perform the difficult job of vetting and monitoring users. This problem is left to public instances which have the resources to do the job.

3) Another #PrivateInstance benefit is that the #LocalTimeline (https://social.bbc/public/local) and #FederatedTimeline (https://social.bbc/public) become chronological content feeds under their control.

The BBC's implementation of this groundbreaking instance should serve as a model to other organizations on how to field their own instances:

1) The first thing to notice is that it is not open to the public. If you try to create an account, they politely say that "it's a place for us to publish in the Fediverse," and encourage users to make an account on any other server and follow them.

I am seriously considering setting up a #RaspberryPi with an external HD and hooking it up to our modem at home and running a #privateinstance
I am not a #sysadmin nor am I a #coder even though I sort of know my way around my #terminal but often times I end up super frustrated and throw up my hands in despair. As the #fediverse is nonprofit and federated I don't want to overburden some poor generous soul. I really love it here. Am I asking for trouble? @martinbogo @david @rabble @eqe thoughts?

Day 1: Remember old #mastodon account
Day 2: Consider #PrivateInstance
Day 3: Become #MastoAdmin
Day 4: Upgrade #MastoHost hosting tier to handle #influx
Day 5: Install Desktop Client https://mastonaut.app

@taylorlorenz welcome! I dusted off an old account from 2016, decided to start my own #PrivateInstance but now I'm an #admin so yeah super fun
