@SeaFury I make stuff and sell it and self-promo on Mastodon all the time. Folks are generally very cool about it. I keep trying to get other vendors I see at markets onto Mastodon - I get way more sales here than I do through fb/insta! (But also, self-promotion is a relatively small portion of my posts/engagements and I'm here as a Real Person, not as a Seller of Things.)
I get ick & block people who are ONLY selling stuff or who are doing any version of a pyramid scheme or dropshipping. But real people making cool stuff? Hell yeah I'm here for it, I want to see it and support it in whatever way is possible.
I tend to tag things with #shamelessSelfPromotion, location tags if I'm doing an in-person market, and then tags for what I specifically make. Yeah sometimes I boost a bunch of my stuff when I have an in-person market coming up, folks can mute it if it's annoying, it's only a day or two.

As we head into #Swancon50 , time to do a bit of flagrant #ShamelessSelfPromotion and remind everyone that I have published a book of selected #Microfiction .
It is available on all the usual platforms, both print and ebook, and will be available (somehow) at Swancon.

👋🏻 Hi!
I’m delighted to share the news of my return to the L.A. broadcast airwaves after 18 years!
I’ll be guest hosting “Roots Music and Beyond” on KPFK 90.7 FM & https://kpfk.org on Saturday, June 13. My shift should be from 8-9am PT.
They have a 2-week archive if you can’t listen live; I’ll post a link when available.

Dun a thing to "promote" #ThePlaylist, so people can listen to this cherry-picked 30 second clip of the very finest link from last week's episode.
If this doesn't cause people to flock to the live stream at https://stream.djdarren.site at 1900pm UK time this evening, or look up the entire archive of 104 episodes at https://djdarren.site/archive, then I don't know what will.
I have started a little Etsy shop, where I am selling my hand crafted wooden items. More will follow over the next weeks.

Somerville Open Studios is this weekend! I'll be selling handmade bags and reflective gear at the Armory both Saturday and Sunday. I have several #StarTrek bags for TOS / TNG / DS9, about a million nerdy tote bags, and new rear-reflectors and retro-reflective stickers for your #bikeTooter needs. Stop in and say hi!
