someone has gone through mastodon and claimed all the brands.
@Kaigani though on this place they could set up their own instances. Depends if they find it worth it.
@andybroomfield that's true, but i wonder if fragmenting the network into many instances would hurt usage. My hope for instances would be that they are used for major strategic branches- e.g. 200k users want to go one way and 200k want to go another.
@Kaigani kind of thinking it takes off they may do official brands on their own domain. But yes fragmenting could become a problem. Needs some kind of verification system.
@andybroomfield funny because i've been talking about setting up a branded instance here at work
@Kaigani yes, think coming from brand domain is best way of dealing with verification.
