It's kinda weird to think about a social network where businesses own their own presences, rather than relying on a capricious third party service like Twitter or Facebook. Imagine NBC or The Verge running a Mastodon instance for their reporters to toot from, or Bethesda operating an instance for PR and customer support. No more lost business when Facebook changes their algorithms again because they need more money from boosted posts.

Weird, right?

@alahmnat this is essentially the glory of the idea!

A few niggles to work out in the over-arching protocol, though. That said, I got criticised for my comments so be wary posting ideas, no matter how complete ;P
