I know I have no say in this (and I #UseTheTools as necessary) but…do we want brands here on CoSo?
@amarand One of the best things about the birdsite of old, was that it was often possible to get a faster response from comapnies from cistomer service than by goimg through their regular channels.
Right, absolutely, but due to CoSo’s size, they aren’t going to be prioritizing CoSo for that level of support. @Autumn has almost 20,000 followers over on IG. When she asks a question of a brand, she gets a little more attention than the average person. I’m not sure I want CoSo to be that sort of site. When -I- see brands here, I block them.
Yeah, that was my question: should we as a community welcome broadcasty brands here or not? My experience (all broadcasty brands blocked immediately) will differ from those who have a “live and let live” philosophy. Their CoSo experience will absolutely change as more brands start to broadcast here. I felt like we have an “only human” rule here but I don’t know how far that goes, which is why I polled my favorite audience of sentient NPCs. 😹
@amarand @stueytheround Nah, unless they pay J a lot more than a pro subscription, they're clearly marked as "brand" and we can silence them all with one preference. "Ignore commercial accounts" option.
They also need to abide by the ToS regarding their posts. For instance, NewMax would get themselves banned immediately.
