Could you please;

1. Explain how this is relevant to my question.
2. Explain how a FedID helps?

That’s fair enough having your own Fediblock list makes sense especially if they are only purely pushing for ads.

People run small business’ that are wanting to interact with there customers

👍

No but something like the UK Government can for some people.

Plenty of people advertise for you to donate towards them on here, I’m simply saying how small business can feel like they are being apart of the Fediverse rather than just using it to advertise there products.

That actually makes sense, Just post what you normally post / Change it a little to factor in the community aspect a little more, but in the end same company just easier to contact.

Like an official support system / way to talk to developers & companies through the Fediverse?

That would be pretty cool especially if they do it from there own instances as it would give a way to interact with them but allows people to mass block each company if needed.

I’m not saying to make monetized ads but if tomorrow the centralized web went away (or gets further restricted for users and brands a like) then how would small business be best to use there accounts rather than shoving ads in your face.

Small business are often trying to just make ends meet especially in some places that can’t easily get jobs, making your own sometimes is the only option.

“anarchist.nexus”

Ahh explains things. Capitalism is sadly what most of us have at the moment and with how jobs are these days some have to create small business’ to keep the lights on and food on the table, I hope you find what you are looking for in life as obviously you don’t have it right now.

Yes this actually makes sense, Having meaningful interactions well not purposely directing people to products or services can reduce the number of people purchasing said things it is better to have a great interaction with people and have a good connection with those in your community.

This is something any business using the Fediverse will have to learn (and I’m trying to do with my own small business). Thanks for your feedback, I will keep it in mind.

Why not it’s an open platform, they can run there own instance.

So… go out of your way to harass small developing business’ because they want to use a great thing like the Fediverse? They haven’t paid or put themselves higher on the ladders through paid ads, they can run there own instances if they wish.

As someone who’s trying to make a small business and doesn’t support how Centralized Socials are used I want to use the Fediverse as my hub of presence for it… What is wrong with a business wanting to grow & interact with people?

conversations* sorry am very bad at spelling sometimes

That’s fair enough, would it be fair to say small business should make there own instance to interact sometimes? People can just block / mute the instance if the business isn’t for them.

Yeah I agree, that is probably the best way a small business should use the Fediverse. Interact instead of just posting the product and going “FOR SALE NOW!”.

Having confiscations is part of the Fediverse and it shouldn’t be taken away.

They aren’t paid ads, yes you might have a few that just do straight up ads but is it not what everyone is doing with showing off what they are doing and creating?

You realize YouTubers are business’ along with content creators in general right? The mute button is right there. Along with would you prefer them to have there own instances so you can just block them out?

The mute button is right there… Would it be better if even small new business’ have there own instances?

Like a support account any issues? Don’t we have private mentions to sort out issues? or just presence?
