Well, I think it's positive although it's eerie to have government run instances.
BBC is not the UK government. I'm not sure if there's a difference or not. (Also please accept my apologies for using this post for a quick federation test)
The BBC is supposed to be independent, although to what extent it actually is is debatable. That aside, Mastodon is open-source so anyone can set up their own server.
What's wrong with government-run instances, when they're used specifically for communication from that government?
