Comment on [META] Are paid for closer source advertising appropriate?
Fmstrat@lemmy.world 2 months agoN of one, but:
- Paid closed source = Advertisement, ban.
- FOSS without free self hosting = Advertisement, ban.
- FOSS with self-hosting but some self-hosted features are paid = Still an advertisement, but MAYBE acceptable if we are being lenient. I don’t like it, personally.
- FOSS with free self-hosting and paid hosted services = Good for them, play on.

There is a sticky up with the currently proposed rule.
Paid closed source or f/loss with a paywall requires active (non-advertising) participation.
f/loss that can be hosted and used fully without a paywall (even if they offer their own cloud option, or a donation subscription, whatever) is exempt.

Oh that sounds spot on. Thanks.
