I don’t know if it’s that surprising that a massive corporation like Volkswagen has set up an account on a Mastodon server.
Which is more likely (not to imply these are the only two options) :
1) They are going to close their Twitter account and move away from their 700,000 followers (@VW only, VW UK have another 175k for ex.) because of some ideological view.
2) Some high up has seen Mastodon mentioned in the press, and instructed their team “we should get registered on that” without understanding at all what it is, because if it is actually the next best thing, spending 5 minutes to register costs nothing.
- aorloff 4y agoAdvertisers are not taking a wait and see approach to Twitter because of some ideological issue, they are taking a pause because they don't like wasting money on ads that don't perform (and generally tightening their budgets, which means culling the lowest performers - like Twitter).
