Why can't I follow https://social.bbc/@BBCRD?

I seem to recall that @freemo explicitly objects to the way that post-editing has been implemented in other Mastodon clients, and has chosen not to adopt that code into the #qoto base. I tried to look for a statement to that effect, but he posts so much on other subjects that it's gotten lost in time. :) And/or my searching skills are bad.
Thats not exactly true. I dont object. It just doesnt follow any standard nor the conventions already in use when it was coded. It makes it impossible to see edits for AP compatible clients. This causes some readers to be unable to see edits even when they are fully AP complient and it breaks the fediverse...
In short mastodon introducing fediverse breaking non-standard impmentations is troubling but as long as it becomes part of the standard or at least reasonably works well within the standard I am ok to adopt it.
@tripu
I was able to just now, so perhaps the connection is made.
I've had problems with various accounts on botsin.space for some reason.
@tripu Seems we're not federated with them (yet)? Cannot find them in the search.
