   Brands, businesses, influencers and power users will eventually join the fediverse. Why not embrace them? Its in our best interest to grow the fediverse.

   I started a new suite of tools in June to support them. It was created with privacy in mind, you will only see public data insights and stats. Any user will be able to use this feature. After federation support is finished I will focus on this again! #pixelfed

      Why would anyone want brands, companies and other crap in their _social_ feeds? Isn't the whole point of why people enjoy the !fediverse that it's _not_ like the asocial advertisement platforms?
      
      Let's not explicitly invite capitalism. Let them build their own damn tools.

      No, it's not! we don't want businesses/spammers to come to collect our data and spam us, in order to try to sell us stuff we don't give a cr** about. We don't want to see "sponsored" posts or ads. Brands and business interests are opposed to a free, open, respectful network, without crapware or surveillance capitalism
