I mean, good? I guess they'd bring some user growth, but they'd just post their brand stuff that I don't imagine most people really want in their feeds, and there's the risk that they end up getting favored treatment on larger instances by donating more than a typical user can or paying the moderators there.

I feel like corporations look at Lemmy/The Fediverse the same way Mufasa looked at the place where the hyenas lived.

My thoughts exactly.
There are vanishingly few places on the Internet that are not inundated with constant ads, promotions, astroturfing, and commercials.
It's why I like it here.

Sure I don't want ads pumped into my feed but some corporations can do social media well. I used to follow Yorkshire Tea on twitter who were generally pretty funny, I don't drink even drink their teas.

Also way too many corps don't have up to date information on their website and their twitter profile has more recent info. The lack of that on any FOSS/decentralized social media means that some people just have to keep a centralized account open.
@scintilla@lemm.ee that's the main thing for me too. That news orgs, political agencies, and corporations use Xitter to communicate is the real travesty.
