Q: Obviously most people here are opposed to the presence of "brands" (companies) on Mastodon. I've seen people suggest that they could "have their own instance".
What about non-profits? (EFF, Greenpeace, etc) Any opinions?
@paulsheprow @Gargron @CobaltVelvet @tcql @nolan I don't object to brands--whether commercial or nonprofit--as long as they behave politely:
- Ads should only go to people who explicitly followed you, not to public timelines.
- No astroturfing.
- Actual general interest news can go to public TLs, but consider that abusing this will get you blocked pretty fast.
- Use CW appropriately
IOW, judge the behavior, not the source.
