  @LiterallyLMAO I don't think so. But why do you think this is self-promotion? I've got nothing to do with the project, and it's news about the fediverse so it's on-topic for this community.

    I suspect a lot of people on here don’t like the idea of monetizing Lemmy since that kind of defeats the whole purpose of Lemmy. It sounds more like something people would do on Reddit or Instagram

      @MrJameGumb yeah I thought @Diplomjodler3 nailed it with "monetize my ass". Then again people have been trying to commercialize the fediverse even before the term got invented -- StatusNet got initial venture funding back in 2009 or so back when it was still the identifverse. So it's a long-standing tension in fedi as a whole.

      Mostly though I'm just entertained that people think that it's self-promotion on my part 😂

    Only thing is to block users like the one I’m replying too. Then you can’t see their ads and hashtag junk and get back to normal discussions.
