Comment on [META] Are paid for closer source advertising appropriate?

I think its funny that anyone who has closed source software thinks the best place to advertise it is in the federation. I love the fediverse but if it was the fact that it was gnu that I checked it out. I would totally not be here if it was closed source.

That’s kind of the defining feature of spam. Not thinking if it’s appropriate or good, just sending everywhere because some of it will generate clicks.
“Just delete it” or “scroll past” is not a useful response. Spam is infinite unless it’s blocked and/or punishable.
