I’m curious what everyone thinks about the posts that have shown up here that are simply a link to purchase an item on Amazon?
These posts are coming from users that don’t have any other engagement other than these posts. This does not seem like a good-faith effort to engage with the community, but rather a cheap attempt to generate clicks and sales.
I would like to see these posts banned, but I’m curious how the rest of the community feels.
The following people get a report when content is reported:
This makes my queue a mess at times, especially because federation is not instant and many apps cache content. I’ve had people on Beehaw report content on Beehaw that was already removed hours ago. When someone spams a bunch of content across communities on the fediverse (such as today with a prolific spammer) we can sometimes have dozens of reports for the same user because of all the reports generated above.
Thank you for clarifying this. I’m going to post this information over on that thread just for visibility. Thanks again!
Haven’t considered anything outside of donations at this time. We post regular financial updates, here’s our most recent.
