@[email protected] @SarraceniaWilds @BlackAzizAnansi yep. Folks can complain about OMG billionaires, but things like threads are far better for your friend than mastodon.

Why not just give it a try? Ignore those who say you should not promote your small business on Mastodon. They are entitle to their opinion, but so are you.

Just checked out #flowers and it seems to be a wonderful place. Using #hashtags here is critical for building engagement.

Finally, think about being part of the change you desire. If you participate here you are helping to build capabilities that benefit everyone.

@mastodonmigration @bynkii @Rachel_Thorn @BlackAzizAnansi Yeah cool but hashtags are broken and theres no easy way to control geography based exposure. For a florist thats fatal. Cant ship perishibles. Its a hugely uphill battle, and right now the costs far outweigh the benefits.

It would be worth people becoming 'curators' rather than 'creators' for their localities and niches - perfect for introverts who hate the creation side of social but love sharing the love! Make it a thing like 'influencers' - actually giving it a dedicated role in society, to be considered a curator in the Fediverse.

I plan to make a few curating accounts once I have my firefish server up, for classicism architects and designers, and generally people sharing their home renovations - having people centralize content will make it easier to be found - it's just a different approach that needs to be adopted, but I believe it will pickup - it has to since there's no global search.

Plus - the Fediverse is ripe for curation - it's the perfect environment to build "authority" as a directory account since there's no global search to compete with, and boosting is easy and encouraged, compared to IG, where most non-political creatives live. And Fediverse encourages individual connections rather than blind mass outreach, so Curators could very well become a trust authority in the Fediverse, by outlining their niches and boosting policies up front.
