What is the best way small business’ should use the Fediverse?

There’s a lot a small company could do on the fediverse but what do you think the best way they could go about it is?

    They aren’t paid ads, yes you might have a few that just do straight up ads but is it not what everyone is doing with showing off what they are doing and creating?

      Well that’s what I mean by “good faith participation” — usually that includes showing off what you are doing/creating to a community you are a part of.

      The problem, that you acknowledge, is that some businesses (in reality a majority) do purely advertisements. It is indeed a slippery slope.

      However, I’ve seen small businesses/individuals post content that gets praised by the general population of a community and then people start asking “Hey, where’d you get that? Where can I get that?” And then the OP is like “Well I actually make it myself, I sell them as a business but also engage in the hobby myself”. THAT is the most successful way I have seen a business interact in an online forum.

        Yeah I agree, that is probably the best way a small business should use the Fediverse. Interact instead of just posting the product and going “FOR SALE NOW!”.

        Having confiscations is part of the Fediverse and it shouldn’t be taken away.
