Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

hopefully he moves to the threadiverse, though it is unlikely.

    Mastodon would be a reasonable goal.

    Why limit to one aspect? Mastodon (announcements) + Pixelfed (photos of the concerts) + Lemmy/PieFed (fan discussion) + PeerTube (videos of the concerts) + Loops (shorts about the concerts and announcements) + ...

    You kid but it literally starts this way. Imagine if someone like Paul McCartney says, "I'm moving over to mastodon and you should too."

    He starts to share exclusive content there, sharing videos on loops...

    People will stop going to other places.

    But the content has to come first.

    Why depend on someone else's mood when it's your business? Videos on Youtube, fanpage on Reddit or Facebook, short videos on TikTok, news on X, ... : they can pull the plug whenever they like.

    With the Fediverse you can create a personal instance only for your business.
