Comment on Rule 2 Clarifications and New Rule proposal I’ve gotten through (I believe) a
skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 5 hours ago I think that’s the important distinction to make. Maybe get rid of the f/loss exception and explicitly call out the paid aspect. If you’re here to promote software that’s pay walled you get the 10% rule.

Just to mention, f/loss with a paywall is not exempt per the rule.
Yeah, I understand that. I was suggesting saying the samething without the exception wording. In the end, it doesn’t stop us from talking about paid software. I use Plex, etc, etc, it’s the promotion that’s the promotion that’s the problem… That being said, maybe I’ve misunderstood non_burglar’s complaint. Unless their a closed source dev looking to promote.

And it shouldn’t stop any sort of discussion - its the promo thats the issue, exactly.
I’m not sure I understand their complaint either. The first comment was about something not impacted at all by the rule, and the second was about floss being hard to define (its not)? Trying to get clarity here but I think I’m missing something with their concern, I don’t see it.

I’m not, I swear!
Jokes aside, your example of Plex is a good one to illustrate that we’re not all at the same ratio of FOSS use, some of us have more or less of each.
Symfonium is another paid example. Amazing app. Even with the new rules we can post about them. With that, I don’t understand your original complaint.
If you’re not pushing your paywalled stuff, it doesn’t affect you, does it?

Please dont take this the wrong way - another user had a similar misunderstanding that I’m trying to clarify and understand - what do you think a promo post is? I ask because of your first comment, and this comment here about Plex.
