Does anyone knows if companies or brands are welcomed on Mastodon or not? If a company don’t want to advertise on the birdsite, can they post contents on Mastodon or is it not allowed? Just curious 🧐

Do they have to host their instances to be on the #Fediverse

OMG - it's the return of the 1993 question about "Acceptable Use Policies" !!

(Next up - we're gonna see the Green Card Lawyers in here!)

@Cooljojo -> Since anyone can create a server, there is nothing from a tech perspective to prevent brands/companies. Particular systems could filter them out - I must admit that your question sounds just like what folks in 1993 when the Internet / Usenet / research networks were suddenly confronted with the same question

@jimcarroll okay. The reason I am asking is because I heard companies got kicked out by several different servers after creating their profiles. I guess companies just have to host their own instances to join the #Fediverse

I suspect so. Each server gets to determine its goal.

See my video and post and what I said in my 'walk in the snow' Sunday

I suspect 100 million people on Sunday morning asked how they can get onto Mastodon. I expect a lot of CIOs are getting asked that very question right now.

That's why I keep saying this is just like 1993. Same vibe.

I might be wrong, but if the bird does really implode, urgency accelerates.
