Gregory's Server@mararada @Homebrewandhacking "no advertising" strikes me as a rule that urgently needs clarification - is it advertising to link to a blog post you've written, or talk about a book you've just published?

 @mararada @simon you're 💯 wrong on that. No one on Linked.in is buying art, books, or TTRPG stuff though. Did you know that this is the only way that a lot of artists can sell their stuff? I am going to take a punt and say you don't do creative work that needs to be advertised except maybe on LinkedIn hence your lack of understanding of this matter. @Homebrewandhacking @simon, you’d be wrong. Creative work IS what I do, but thanks for assuming my understanding is limited. @Homebrewandhacking @simon I will block you because you can't keep a conversation civil. Good bye.  @mararada @Homebrewandhacking it's not that simple if the "no advertising" rule isn't expanded with a definition of what that server considers advertising though @simon @Homebrewandhacking@mastodon.ie I can agree with that. However, as I mentioned earlier, if all one speaks about is what one sells, that's very clearly advertising. @simon @mararada anyway, now the concern troll has gone and blocked me. Linked.in. pfft. I was thinking based on number of employees because the industry I work in is 99%+ freelancers and one-person bands. In the UK a very Small enterprise IIRC is any company with 5 or less employees. Allowing 1 post per day per product? That would seem to cover most everybody that wants to advertise. Small 6-50, Med 51-250, Large 250+ That would cover a lot of entertainers Anyone creative on a no advertising policy server should go somewhere they can advertise. Mastodon.ie has a "don't be a ballix" policy but I trust the mod team to let me know if I go near the line. Amazon, Harvey's award winning cheese shop https://www.harveysofhythe.co.uk/harveyscheese EN Publishing (enworld.org) and me, listed in order of employee no, all need a policy for "some ads allowed". Perhaps a CC style arrangement? |
@simon @Homebrewandhacking I don’t know the answer to that. To me, if one only speaks about what one sells, that’s advertising. Link or no link.
There’s already LinkedIn for that. I doubt there’s a need to duplicate it.
