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 @dell imagine if readers could join their favorite news outlet's instance, it would bring diversity of large well funded instances while retaining subscribers. There's a possibility that Mastodon dot Social becomes the default, ostensibly undercutting the fediverse by centralize the service, but if a dozens or hundreds of instances were maintained by news outlets while small instances remained in parity with them decentralization would be assured
