Meanwhile, in the real world, people who actually run businesses have to rely on quasi utilities like the stuff that meta offers, because building a business for the people who are willing to to use mastodon is not a fucking thing.
- Sammi 1y agoBuy a domain and make your own system. Only use other people's platforms for marketing and pr, or as commodity providers that are easily replaced. You can make your own business that you actually own and control. It's even cheap - only need a domain and a vps.

Meta encourages this kind of idiocy, of course. You get to choose: accept reality as it is, or deal in false reality and go out of business accordingly.
