Our company X account was suspended without explanation today. We filed an appeal but I am not holding my breath. Debating if we should create an account for the company here. Do #WordPress and #a11y folks follow companies and is maintaining a company Mastodon account worth it?

Absolutely. In due course the company should also consider establishing your own Mastodon instance.

@mastodonmigration what's the argument for setting up our own instance (aside from data ownership) and how do you rank the setup and maintenance time for that relative to everything else a business needs to do?

@amberhinds @mastodonmigration i have been running an instance for a couple of years now. Close to a hundred users, but of course far less active. The work needed to keep it going and up to date is close to nothing. When there is a new version, like once a month, I log in to the server, update the docker images, restart them, and that is it.
So yes, create your own instance!

@amberhinds Worth it - definitely... some numbers: https://fedidb.com/
The fediverse might dwarf Meta and others right now, but I think long term, things could become really interesting, because the Fediverse will continue to grow as long as people are willing to have conversations, add servers, etc. (I don't think growth numbers are a proper measurement for success btw, I'm more into the happiness factor, but all things considered...)
You can install the ActivityPub plugin in your Wordpress and start posting to Fediverse instances today
(I sound like a salesman, but that's because I'm so excited about this)

@jeppe @mastodonmigration If I were going to create my own instance, I definitely wouldn't let anyone else join. Moderation is 100% not something I want to be responsible for.

@amberhinds @mastodonmigration in three years, i have had three complaints. One baseless. Maybe people on my server are just extremely nice, or the fediverse is a better place to relate to eachother.
