Have a Fucking Website

If you’re a hair salon, or a tattoo artist, or a restaurant, or whatever, please just have a fucking website where I can go and see your rates and hours. Not all of your potential clients are on these platforms, and I suspect that even many of the ones who are appreciate a simple, unadorned site that tells them what they need to know at a glance.

i think it's okay to just have a mastodon because it's not login-walled and not hostile to an open web.

@pelle It would do the job but most people don't know it exists or what the address would mean.

I've been delighted to watch it take off and get active and busy, but I see vanishingly little public awareness.

@lproven discovery of businesses doesn't happen only via mastodon, so it's fine people don't know it yet. they can follow the link on the ad for your business — if they can't open a link in their web browser, then they'll not find your website either!

all the issues the author of article has with "social media" don't really apply to mastodon. it's like someone who's fed up with mcdonalds and burger king exclaiming: »everyone should cook at home! restaurants are horrible.«

but all of us here know that, of course.
