  I’m not saying it will be the solution but, positive reinforcement for those who behave, mixed with not interacting with those that only spam would probably get some to loose interest. And perhaps some mod rules.

  I do some self promotion, although I try to; 1: only post in relevant forums. 2: also engage outside of my own posts an then not talk about said posts.(this time is an exception but its kind of a meta discussion.)

  Due to the nature of the fedivers what I post on mastodon and pixelfed might get federated on to Lemmy, which unfortunately might give the appearance of spamming, I’m aware of this but I don’t see a way around that. And lastly. I don’t think my videos on Peertube would get any views unless I post them outside of peertube since there is no real algorithm or good discovery functions across the instances. But I’m open to being in the wrong here.

  Indeed! But let’s be the change we want!

  Do you have any good mastodon, pixelfed or peertube or other fediverse recommendations to follow ? I’m still new here so my feeds are pretty monocultural (to borrow an agricultural term).

  Thanks you for letting me know that my interpretation wasn’t completely off base.

  Well I have an idea and its a bit archaic but it just might work. Local homegrown news bulletins. Like how punk rock bands and other subcultures back in the day spread around. Registers and news, and compilations of cool sites you and your group of friends or “club” have found. The old internet had loads of sites or BBS’s that were link lists.

  It doesn’t have to be janky paper magazine’s. But communities need to engage more in genuine material and sites. Remember happy tree friends? No algorythm spread that. Kids did! Same thing with meatspin and all those crazy sites and content. Word of mouth is crazy powerful. Like take peertube for example, finding content you like there ain’t as easy as on YouTube. But if you in a group / forum honestly recomend something or someone you found, chances are someone like minded that didn’t know of it, now finds it. But we can’t, on the other hand, go around and spam everything we find.

  So monthly bulletins of content, sites etc in a forum would be my 2 cents.

  I think Alk is referencing, the concept of perverse incentives. Without explicitly saying it. It’s a concept, or a way of refering to an incentive structure that gives un-desirable results, in economics.

  Example: When clicks give you ad revenue. And hurt kittens nurtured back to health gives the most clicks. People start hurting kittens, so they have more to nurture back to health for clicks.
