Business on the Mastodon!

I'll ask this again since it's been awhile.

If a small business wanted to get on Mastodon and promote their products and services, how should that be done?

Or... should it be done?

Is there a guide to that? What's the etiquette?

What instances are okay to join?

Twitter is a shit-show, but I think it was a good place for small businesses to exist and promote themselves.

@rasterweb I'd been wondering the same thing. There are a lot of businesses of different sizes where I have a genuine interest in what they're doing and I don't want to need to go to Twitter for it.

I wanted to have a play so set up an instance for my small business, felt it was maybe more appropriate than asking a volunteer server to host me?

Not sure if it's welcomed or not, are we @hammertonbarbados ?

@pandapoo @rasterweb This sounds like an ideal solution. If individual people or instances are opposed to it, then they can simply fediblock and move on with their lives. Whether or not we'd federate with such an instance would depend on the way it was run and moderated.
