Most businesses create social media accounts, and the reason is obvious: to reach customers and partners.

But imagine living in a world dominated by major tech platforms, walled gardens where millions, sometimes billions, of people interact every day. That’s our current reality, shaped by growing corporate control over our digital lives.

Now think of any small business you know: a bar, a restaurant, a tattoo studio, a local shop, a vet clinic…

If most people are still on traditional platforms, what arguments would you give a small business to convince them to share their content on #Pixelfed or #Mastodon, instead of staying on #Instagram or moving to #Bluesky?

Have you tried already? What were the results?

@everton137 Our company has some clients who are exploring fediverse to reach more people and be able to build authentic connections and share content (without spamming).

Generally, businesses always choose platforms that allow them to reach their audiences and build their brand. This means that sometimes platform A is good, sometimes platform B.

For sure it's good for them to explore fediverse and have more control over their digital presence, but they also need to be sure that entering the fediverse would be good for them in long-term.

As for PR and marketing agencies, they can educate their clients about the reasons to choose fediverse. For example, @mediascopegroup shares information about fediverse and provides clients and partners with educational materials about it. But the final decision always depend on each business strategy, objectives and other factors.

I agree that more companies should choose fediverse - for brand safety, connections with people, building their brand and having safer space. But this requires time and companies always want to see at least 2-3 advantages of entering the #fediverse.
