I noticed this Wealthsimple Community pop up in my “active” list today.
Clicked in and noticed its empty, but the sidebar contains a sneaky affiliate link for the moderator of that community.
Same thing with the Wealthsimple Trade Community.
I think this sort of activity should be banned from here tbh, definitely at the mod level.
Advertising has no place here.
If you want to contain it all in a specific place that can be blocked, okay. But if the instance starts allowing people to just post advertisements like that, I’m gone and it’s getting blocked.
So you’re saying if lets say GCPGrey moved his community here, he couldn’t have links to his store here or other material as that would be “bad”.
Let’s get real here, Advertising is going to happen, donations are going to happen. If you don’t like that you’re going to have a hard time on the Internet.
Like I said, if it’s all contained in a community I can si.pky block, no problem.
If ads are allowed across the whole instance, I will change instances and block the whole instance.
I’m here to look at content, not be persuaded to spend money.
I’m not an admin, but I think an instance wide rule against links anywhere that are affiliate links would be insane and maybe you should go.
