I really love Mastodon, but it’s practically impossible to have a representation of a small business here. You get piled with “this has to be opensource!!1!”, “why do you charge money for this?” and so on. I and others tried so many times to basically move Instagram accounts here, but the amount of hate here for small businesses just trying to do their thing is just too much.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/users/bitboxer/statuses/116002232689494912 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
