The instance is flourishing, and nearly 100 signups have happened over the last few days. Lots of people are having fun, and we're settling into new methods and strategies to make this great for everyone.

One thing worth noting is that a few instances have already suspended us - Mastodon.social, one of the biggest instances, and a few others like wandering.shop. That is their perogative, and there are no hard feelings, but it is a bummer to see these efforts get misunderstood and closed off.

Brands.Town is one part culture-jamming, one part satire, and one part collaborative ARG with an evolving made-up world. Every account pretends to be verified. It's a giant middle finger to corporate propaganda on social networks, and an effort to make the fediverse somewhat less hospitable to actual brands trying to colonize our space.

Anyway, check us out: https://brands.town/public

And maybe sign up!
