Gregory's Server@peterbutler I've preached for a long time now, Mastodon is a gold mine for organizations that want to authentically engage with an audience. Follower numbers are real and engagements are deep and conversational.

@benroyce @peterbutler Well said. I think though if Nestlรฉ or Exxon entered the fedivers with a certain tact, and approached their content as outreach instead of agenda pushing it could work. You're right though, the media manager would need to be extremely in tune with the platform.

@mike @peterbutler I'll be honest with you, I'd happily be lead torch bearer in the angry mob to defederate Exxon and Nestle servers from any and all instances.

@benroyce @peterbutler It would be inevitable. I never said it would be easy, just possible. Personally I'm not a fan of fediblocks but that's a discussion for another thread. I would most likely block them from my timeline on principal but I'm sure that happens on all the platforms.

Youโd get stiff competition, I think! Fortunately everyone could federate.. ๐ |
@mike @peterbutler But you have to be careful. There is an ethos to Mastodon and things like self-promotion are frowned upon. There is a certain level of savviness and awareness that is required to navigate Mastodon properly, or there will be blowback. It also greatly depends upon the organization. I don't think Nestle nor Exxon would do very well here for example (thankfully).
