I genuinely believe growing the movement for proportional representation is a critical - perhaps even more important than buying Canadian.
I apologize if it’s annoying, but you can also block me if you don’t like my content.
And since I did create the content for this post (and I am donating it into the world under CC-BY-NC-SA), shouldn’t I be able to promote my other interests?
I like your content, and I appreciate what you bring to your communities. What I don’t appreciate is how you force your pet project into every discussion. If you weren’t so involved and connected, I would report your comment for being off topic, but I know that’s pointless.
If you truly believe a comment is breaking the rules (e.g. off topic), then report it. Let the mods decide.
It’s better that I spread the word on proportional representation, which would actually help Canada, rather than spewing nonsense, or trying to get people to give me money
There’s a simple solution, just ignore me. But given the fact that you’re seeing my content, means it’s not being downvoted but upvoted, meaning people actually value my content. Blame the game, not the player.
I apologized if you find my content annoying, but that’s not the general case, and overall I think you agree that proportional representation is beneficial, so keep that in mind.
And the mods include … oh look, you! Yes, I’m sure a report will be taken seriously…
Just because it’s popular, doesn’t mean it’s following the rules. Just look south of the boarder.
Again, I have no problem with you focusing on your advocacy, it’s just when you bring it to unrelated discussions.
You’re more than welcome to report since they’re not the only mod and it’s helpful to have a record of it.
I’m seeing most of their comments linking that sub in !canada@lemmy.ca and other communities. In this community, they’re active and it makes up a somewhat small and infrequent amount of their comments, so I wouldn’t consider it spam personally.
But if we get reports from more people and the community has a problem with it then I’m happy to have a conversation about limiting or removing those types of comments.
I am honestly acting in good faith and taking you seriously right now. If I instead promoted donated money to me directly (which could also be in the same vein of being unrelated discussion), would you have a problem with that? Probably not, but when it’s a cause that actually helps Canada (even if it’s annoying), then it’s a problem? In either case, both (promoting self interests, or proportional representation) would be as obtrusive – which is not much at all.
I never suggested popular means following the rules. The point I was making is that while you don’t appreciate my content, many others do, so please know that you’re not the only person that exists on this community.
