@feditips Long time happy user of Authy here.

@Gargron I definitely think there's ways it can be done well. I used them a lot on Twitter to "yes and" threads I supported.

Yes, others sometimes used them to brigade, which is bad. But there are also ample good uses. Designing it in a way to maximize the good uses and minimize the bad ones is a challenge, I agree, but a worthwhile one.

@TerribleMaps No wonder Russia is doing nothing to stop global warming. They stand to benefit the most of anyone.

@dansup How would it work? Do you mean a hard coded list of project paid donors?

@feditips Does switching it on apply retroactively to my older posts, or just posts of mine going forward?

@TerribleMaps That's an interesting map, not a terrible map. 5 yard penalty, loss of down.

@TerribleMaps I thought one of them was Wakanda.

@dansup As others have said, why is a company intrinsically spam?

If we want the Fediverse to be healthy, it's going to necessarily have some business/corporate participation. That's *good*. We want the next "Wendys" to be part of it.

Clearly marking a business account is good, like Mastodon clearly marking Bots. Categorize correctly and let people follow what they want.

You shouldn't penalize an account "just" because it's a business account. That's unhealthy for the ecosystem.
