Brands* should consider setting up their own Fediverse presences — Mastodon, yes, but also others like PeerTube — on their own servers (self-verification) and take back power from the social media monoliths. Fans will find you.
* All kinds of organisations and public personas. Basically, if you pay for a domain name and server space, invest in your own fediverse entities too.
Now the way the Internet Archive is doing mastodon is how more organisations and celebs should be joining the fediverse! They have a dedicated in house instance, which lets you identify official staff, and gives them control and security over their content, whilst also allowing people and instances to opt in or out of interacting with them Kudos for doing it right @[email protected]!
Here are some other #FediverseAlternatives to popular social media sites.
