meta about organisations on the fedi
If you're an organisation that wants to participate on the fediverse, you really need to be running your own Mastodon instance.
Most of the Mastodon infrastructure right now is being run by individuals or small groups, for the community.
Trying to put your "official account" on community infrastructure is extremely rude.

Also if that instance goes down for maintenance then you are also offline.
Especially if we are seeing a huge surge in new users, people are having to adjust their set ups to try and keep up.

@aurynn So where should we direct people to that suggests companies set up their own instance.
Or can we word that so they can come here, test the water then ask for help as to where to get started.

@zleap Yep, and it's extremely rude to put community infrastructure in that position
