As a side note, imho, there's little incentive for (large) businesses to associate with any particular instance because of the evident risk that users would target and harm their brands.
- shagie 4y agoThere are several reasons why they wouldn't want to associate with a public server. While the verification green check mark is nice, it is much better to have PR hosted on toot.company.com instead. Furthermore, there's the "who can see what" - https://restoreprivacy.com/mastodon-privacy-issues-risks/ https://restoreprivacy.com/mastodon-privacy-issues-risks/ > Because these messages aren’t end-to-end encrypted, the server owner can read everything in plaintext. (See also https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079 ) That's a BIG "companies should be hosting their own servers."
