I'm actually pretty surprised that brands are not jumping in on the fediverse as a way to fully control their image.

It reminds me of the early days of the web.

"In the process of doing his [1994] research, [journalist Joshua Quittner] discovered the unused address mcdonalds.com and he wisely snatched it up. But much to his surprise, this purchase didn’t interest anybody!"

@stefan have you seen the way some Fedi folks respond to commerical accounts?

It's more likely to be lack of awareness, but I wouldn't be rushing to get business on here.

There's brands.town for mockery...

Not that I really care either way, just seeing a parallel here.
