@sonya federation is going to make getting money from #brands difficult, but somehow we have to carry on

@pyry @sonya Brands can die, for all I care.

Although, if enough people embraced it, brands could hypothetically live on their own domains. This is also true for news outlets, which could just syndicate their articles through OStatus instead of RSS.

@deadsuperhero @pyry tbh I love that idea — as others have mentioned, this can also serve as verification, like you'd know that @sonyamann@mastodon.inc.com was the real Sonya Mann in her role as a journalist, and be able to identify impersonators

@sonya @pyry @deadsuperhero @kevinmarks 's rel-me is 100% easiest solution about verification.
