How was that an ad? What exactly did you think was being advertised?
And some of us quite like tutorials as they tend explain not just what to do but why it’s being done.
Comment on SimpleX Self-Host Script, Tutorial, on Monero Provider

Leave it to the cryptocurrency people to turn a simple tutorial into an ad. You could have pasted the whole script instead. In fact, here it is:
# !/bin/bash # Setting up docker apt repo # Add Docker's official GPG key: apt update apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg # Add the repository to Apt sources: echo \ "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \ "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \ tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null apt update # Install docker from repo (~450MB,2Min) apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin # Verify docker install #docker run hello-world # Install SimpleX from Docker Hub (~300MB,2Min) mkdir -p $HOME/simplex/{xftp,smp}/{config,logs} && mkdir -p $HOME/simplex/xftp/files docker run -d \ --name smp-server \ -e "ADDR=smp.YOUR.DOMAIN" \ -p 5223:5223 \ -v $HOME/simplex/smp/config:/etc/opt/simplex:z \ -v $HOME/simplex/smp/logs:/var/opt/simplex:z \ simplexchat/smp-server:latest docker run -d \ --name xftp-server \ -e "ADDR=xftp.YOUR.DOMAIN" \ -e "QUOTA=50gb" \ -p 443:443 \ -v $HOME/simplex/xftp/config:/etc/opt/simplex-xftp:z \ -v $HOME/simplex/xftp/logs:/var/opt/simplex-xftp:z \ -v $HOME/simplex/xftp/files:/srv/xftp:z \ simplexchat/xftp-server:latest
… And that’s all you need.

SimplifiedPrivacy looks like a for-profit that offers “Degoogled GrapheneOS Phones”, “Rare Session Usernames”, and “Cryptocurrency Consulting Services” over encrypted messaging.
I say “looks like” because there’s no legal info anywhere, and they are pretty adamant about not wanting to get sued.

I’m from the same Lemmy instance monero.town (technically a mod?) and can see your point. Initially I was vocal about perceived link-spamming, advertising this SimplifiedPrivacy thing; at least a few users there were/are feeling the same way, as you can see e.g. here. So please don’t lump crypto (esp. Monero) users as a single kind of people.
Like @leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone pointed out, some of info provided by this user (ShadowRebel) can be useful. Perhaps some people prefer a video to text. Monero users tend to respect freedom (of speech) and advertisement is not forbidden in Monero.town anyway. Perhaps you can understand that this does not mean “the cryptocurrency people” are the same.

I was expecting childish reactions when I shared this post. But that doesn’t matter, if only one user has benefited from it, it was well worth it.

@ride I know the background: this info could be very useful, and you commented, “Even if not directly Monero-related, this draws attention to the community when such contributions come from here.”
The problem is, !privacyguides@lemmy.one has a different set of rules than Monero.town does, explicitly stating:
Hence, as you can see in monero.town/post/1085883 (you double-posted the same thing, too), a negative comment about this:
So @LWD@LWD@lemm.ee is not “childish”, even stating “it is informative.” But if the info is useful, we should follow the rules of !privacyguides@lemmy.one when (cross-)posting here; otherwise, Monero.town may look bad.

Yes, thanks for the clarification.
