Comment on What is Meshtastic? - Full Guide on How To Get Started

• Grippler@feddit.dk ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I think the persistent borderline spam-posting about this, coupled with exclusively linking to your own site, is triggering a negative response from some/many people.

    The two points I can agree with here and redirecting traffic to their website and the lack of some context before doing so.

    I don’t have an issue with OP posting about this frequently, but to be fair if you’re doing it to farm traffic to your own website with the most minimal effort involved possible then it becomes an issue.

      I’ve seen a handful of these posts in the last 24h or so, IMO that is pretty excessive but that’s subjective. But for me its especially the lack of effort, coupled with high frequency, that gives it a traffic farming vibe.

    I totally understand your point, But again I am not here to grow Lemmy Nor to grow my website. I really put so much time into writing Meshtastic guides, I am trying to spread the word. Suppose I were to start crafting posts for each platform Reddit, Lemmy, Discord, LinkedIn, etc. I would never have time to write more content about Meshtastic or any other stuff. Please let’s be reasonable here. Focus on the content and the tech. All the comments on why I shared my website. I would to have a conversation about the actual content itself. Did you try it? what is the range? how does it work?

      Your approach to spreading awareness is specifically why I am not looking in to it. You give off a scammy vibe, so I’m not wasting time on it. Let’s be reasonable here, if you’re not even willing to write 5-10 lines about what this is and what problem it solves, it doesn’t deserve awareness.

  When it gone over a tipping point, it does the opposite, no matter how good your intensions is. Sounds like you past that tipping point.

    Is there a set “tipping point” in this community? Or are we back to arbitrary rules like Reddit?

    • umami_wasbi@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That “tipping point” is totally subjective. Different people have different level of tolerance. You might find it useful and others might find it annoying. My response is a neutral response that observed from the comment before OP’s.

      Sure one doesn’t have to look at this but I would also recognize their right to voice being annoyed. I believe this community is civilize, right?

        Agreed, it is totally subjective. For me, 5 posts in quick succession, all linking to the same website, is spammy, and i will downvote it. Interesting technology, but one post with a link is enough for me. But i respect anyone’s right to disagree and upvote the posts.
