Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

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?
