       For the first time ever, a brand replied to a post I made. Some observations:1. They're self-hosting their own Mastodon instance2. They have a general sense for why they're on Mastodon3. They're talking in an established "brand" voice

       So brands are bound to join the Fediverse. It's only a matter of time before Netflix and Pepsi show up. I would rather that they start their own instances rather than suddenly leeching off some poor volunteer who's living off donations. And they should employ moderators to maintain their instances.

       Well, fuck White Smoke BBQ. They have a Gab profile.These guys aren't decent. Food unites no one when you're on the side of Neo-Nazis.

       And yet again, this is why it's best to do your homework before mentioning a brand on social. What initially seemed to be a nice interaction ended up being an unintentional ad for a bunch of assholes. So now I hope everyone reading this knows that White Smoke BBQ hangs out with Neo-Nazis on Gab. And please de-federate their instance!

       All right, so this is a learning experience.I'm never mentioning a brand on the Fediverse ever again unless they're thoroughly vetted and they're confirmed to NOT be assholes.

       @atomicpoet Retard, it's not "their own Mastodon instance", Mastodon is one instance, they made another. We are on the Fediverse. They made an instance on the Fediverse. It makes complete sense that you're on the journalist instance.

       @ThotsAndOpinions @atomicpoet I mean they are a "mastodon instance" in the same way that poast is a "pleroma instance"

       Hey Chris, Pepsi here.  Thanks for welcoming us to the fediverse.We're still working on the drink verification technology for our future instance but once we've got that set up we'll keep you in mind for the mod team.   Thanks again, and keep enjoying delicious Pepsi!

       Our blind taste tests have shown Pepsi to be the superior product time and again.  I don't care how many more people we have to blind by pouring delicious Pepsi directly into their eyes, dammit, it's going to stay that way.
