@Mayana Huh, interesting. I never thought of a writer posting their own stuff as a "brands" thing. I guess w.s has an expectation that users will bring more of their own lives into their accounts, which tbf is how I've seen my mutuals use theirs.

On the other hand I've seen writers' accounts on wandering.shop and writing.exchange that are more "on brand" and talk very little about their personal lives, and I think actual literary magazines have moved onto one or both of those instances too? @WanderingBeekeeper what's your thinking on this? Would an account like MicroSFF's be unwelcome on w.s as being too "brand-like?" I'm guessing you don't think so, since you sent the invite after all.

@ljwrites @Mayana @WanderingBeekeeper there are definitely accounts like @/lunastation@wandering.shop on the shop who post to the local timeline & are far more brandy than O Westin? Also worth noting that the instance has changed ownership since 2017, tho Luna predates that transfer
