@bflipp@vmst.io just seeing your timeline, and the thoughts about branding - there's a business opportunity there. What if you've reached out to a half dozen brands that are pumping their Mastodon presences on to random volunteer run instances, and pitch either the idea of hosting of us bespoke one for them (as a service? as an actual employee?) or, better yet, developed a domain like brands.social where you could do a SaaS thing where the whole business model is selling verification and support?

@jiva@devoe.social @uliwitness@chaos.social Not all aspects of it are - Just interesting seeing the internal politics around it and the seeming lack of a real altruistic intent at its creation. Edited to add: And where that trips them up from a UX angle, where users have to quite consciously edit URLs to make it all work.
