I've been thinking about Mastodon vs Twitter and positioning. It's a neat case study on understanding value vs features.

Mastodon has many differentiated features - federated servers, content moderation, no ads, etc. But the opportunity for them is to clearly position the value those features enable. Example - users should understand the value of decentralization (no company owns your data) vs. seeing this as simply something different from Twitter and kind of a pain. #positioning #marketing

@aprildunford what is potentially interesting is that you could set up a #marketing Mastodon Server in a vertical and establish yourself as the home for a topic, not just a voice.

This is only possible in this federated model...
And especially at this point in time.

Or

Marketing.social

@stevendavis Has anyone done something like that?
@aprildunford - I'm helping set one up on disability. I have seen a business example yet
