You're going to start seeing more companies start launching corporate Mastodon instances.Take https://social.vivaldi.net/ the social site for Vivaldi as an example.https://mastodon.social/@jon@vivaldi.net/109323051093356312

@jeff if more and more brands start standing up servers, I am curious about what the overall sentiment is on promoted content from the accounts on those servers, especially if it is product or service oriented.

@jperlow We'll see.Promotion, in instelf isn't evil and I kind of expect a company to promote themselves.When it's on their platform I think it may be easier to identify?

@jeff I guess the question is how do we treat corporate accounts on public fediverse servers and corporate servers on the fediverse, are we going to permit clear advertising posts or are we going to create servers/lists specifically if we want to opt-in follow those accounts.

@jperlow That's the great thing about Mastodon and federated social media.Not one person makes that decision. The power is in each individual instance.

@jeff that's certainly true, but what I am curious about is since we are dealing with an open source, and overall not-for-profit network of hosts, what is the underlying feeling about allowing such content in general? I think we certainly want brand representation, but what is deemed informational from them versus advertising? Or exploitative?

@jperlow @jeff I think the thing is that people will have to follow them voluntarily, and if they're too annoying they'll get blocked and muted all over the place. So the incentives are there to be well behaved?

@jeff For example, if we take major brands with viral activity such as Taco Bell, or Steak-Umm, which have content other than pure product promo, I think those can be fun to engage with. In 2022, these were considered some of the top brands for engagement on Twitter. https://marketing.twitter.com/en/success-stories/best-of-tweets-brand-bracket-2022
