    Can you give some background info and explain why you think it’s a good idea?

      Currently this server doesn’t allow ads/spam. I take this to mean a link to an referencing an Amazon product or Etsy store are not allowed.

      Most of us live in places that have markets, further markets are part of the internet. Therefore, I would consider links to products/stores as adding depth to server. That said, I don’t like the idea of wading thru ads and spam.

      Having a specific allows for:

      1. Users to decide if they will subscribe to it or not
      2. Forces all forms of ‘commerce’ to centralized location.
      3. Increased moderation on a specific instances that could decrease spam.

        I suppose I’m struggling to see the utility. Is it for posters to advertise their products? Recommend products like on r/buyitforlife?

        Patreon users already asked for clarification on the ad rules but I don’t think this is what they wanted
