Or not making the same mistake twice, and opting for something decentralised that your company owns, such as your own Mastodon instance.

    Yeah, but then they have to pay someone to maintain it. And low though that cost may be, it's precisely the sort of thing that C-levels like to cut when they feel like pretending that they actually do something.

    It's a hard thing for a C-level's ego to set something up that they know someone else is going to cut later, or worse that they might be the one to "have to" cut it.

    They have to pay someone to manage the account in the first place. No reason that worker can’t do both.

    Typing in a box on a website provided by someone else can be done by practically anyone, even the boss themselves at a pinch. Heck, some of them love doing that.

    Maintaining a server (or a service on a server) requires someone with more skills, which generally costs more money.

    Some smart entrepreneur could offer a Mastodon-server-in-a-box service, where companies only pay hosting fees for company-name.social and a social network employee.
