I really wish running your own mastodon was as accepted as running your own email server. There'll be no "blue check mark" problem if your company runs the server and only provides accounts to employees.

I think the problem is that ActivityPub doesn't scale as well as email does thanks to the constant need to update and cache data from each instance one of your users interacts with.

So more how newsgroups fell, because ISPs didn't want to run the servers due to storage.
