    This is what I’m saying, companies should not feel welcome posting on the Fediverse.

    They should feel nervous and like the fediverse is a hostile place to conduct business.

    It is only if we create that kind of culture that the Fediverse will resist becoming a piece of shit marketplace like the rest of the internet.

    Hence, fuck every brand, fuck every company.

    This is a call to action. If you see any post you so much as smell as being from a business, it’s your moral duty to attack and bully that poster. They are a threat to the human element of the platform and they should be treated as a threat.

    We have a chance, here, to prevent the same folly we’ve allowed so many other human spaces to befall. We gotta be wildly hostile to brands and companies.

      It’s not a fuck every company though, Especially if you don’t want the rest of the internet to be around / exist. I know people in my life that won’t move across because X user is not moving across, and sometimes that’s brands.

        “We’re the good guys” doesn’t work and isn’t true when you inevitably bring the bad guys

        The thing is, a business, of any size, is utterly incapable of being genuine, as a rule, as their only purpose for existence is to seek profit.

        If they are being genuine, they are being honest about that and I don’t want to see their content anywhere my eyes land ever.

        If they aren’t leading with that premise, then they are being deceitful and I absolutely don’t want to see their content anywhere.
