I work for an org with a ton of blue ticks on a ton of moderately 'woke' brands and the cost isn't worth it. Mastodon is being considered. Definitely considering not paying the fee, since the incoming traffic will be hard pressed to cover costs even with millions of followers.

The org I'm at is considering spinning up our own Mastodon server, and we have a legacy verified. We'll see if we actually lose it though.

Just a million dollars, and we have a solution.

These idiots at Twitter spent years and millions of dollars on developer salaries to combat bots when you could just get Dog The Bounty Hunter to find the bot king and arrest him. That's why we need geniuses like Musk in business.

Yeah, but ban lists predominantly target conservatives, so the only possible explanation is Soros-funded bot armies.

Lol, I just got added to a BITCOIN PRIZE list out of nowhere, and I can report the list but there's no report category it falls under because it's not attacking, threatening, or impersonating anyone. Every option just takes me to a list of things that are prohibited by the TOS, but none of them involve spamming scams. Thanks, Elon :thumbsup:

so when you say "brand" it makes me think why people would use a whole new service just to see whatever viral marketing nonsense their favorite junk food or fast food or whatever other kind of #brand is trying to make stick this week

but doesn't really make sense in the context you're saying, do you mean "brand" as in, like, personality or influencer or pundit or whatever who actually says things some people might want to read?

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris
