I absolutely read the title as the BBC choosing a single platform. If not why wouldn’t it say “BBC gives up on Threads, sticks with Mastodon and X”?

  Wouldn't it then say "BBC gives up on Threads and X, sticks with Mastodon"?

    Maybe they haven't memorized which platforms the BBC is currently on and assume it was never on X.

    Not if they gave up on X months ago.

  I think it could much more fairly be read as "...out of alternate sources for real-time short-form communication, BBC has given up on Threads, but is sticking with Mastodon". Twitter/X is the 'default' and the assumption that media will be on it...while Threads and Mastodon are the _alternatives_. This article, to me, is just suggesting that BBC has dropped _one of the alternatives_.
