Most instances seem to be putting a lot of emphasis on their code of conduct specifically in regard to insults and harassment. I’m not against that and i understand the concept of “your server your rules” but i’m just curious to understand why many are so concerned with slurs while they don’t seem to care much about big tech advertising here. I’m posting this seeing plenty of GAFAM in the top posts of the bigger instances.
I think it is implied, but I suspect if ads started showing up frequently that it would become an explicit rule. It is already explicitly against the rules for bots to post spam which would cover most ads.
