@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.
Also, you’re diverging. The point here is that there are rules and people know of them before signing up. So they should follow them, not break them.
If we only follow the rules when they suit us we’re no better than Musk and his clique.
Don't like the rules? Don't sign up. Find a place with rules you're willing to follow. It's that simple.

@mararada @simon

Your understanding is limited. As is your compassion and empathy.

Tell you what, post me to where I can get:
a TTRPG supplement,
A novel
A piece of fantasy artwork
A piece of jewellery

advertised on LinkedIn

And I'll apologise.

How about that? Should be super easy because you're not spouting total rubbish in public and know what you're talking about? Right? Right?

Or will you just block me because you're emotionally invested in being wrong?

@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

Mara Rada :verified:

@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.
Not all places are created to be a marketplace.

@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
