For, uh, reasons, I’ve been in more chats with bosses at my company this week. I used one such occasion this morning to note that we have day old tweets people have only shared maybe eight times, and that if we had an account on Mastodon that would literally never happen.
@dell Companies and orgs should host their own instance so they are not only branding but not mooching off community run instances that are barely getting by on costs.
@shelenn My only concern on this, and it’s one I think that can be adequately addressed (in a union conteact, for instance), is companies laying people off abruptly and losing their accounts somehow. I’m sure there’s a way around this tho.
At a minimum, users should contribute financially to their instance costs to account for the burden of their posts.
