Saw some asshole griping about people promoting for sale things they make here on Mastodon.

So I blocked his stupid ass instead.

Look. Some folks lost their ENTIRE LIVELIHOOD when Twitter went tits up.

Save the arguments about building on other people's platforms for another time. Because for many, this is immediate, desperate, and is the difference between eating this week or not.

Don't be a dick.

@JenWojcik A lot of us musicians used Twitter and Instagram to promote our gigs. That helped us tremendously. And helped us make income to keep a roof over our heads etc.

There's nothing wrong with promoting our businesses and/or side hustle here on Mastodon.

@IveyJanette @JenWojcik the overwhelming cultural vibe on Mastodon is "this is a great network because absolutely nobody can ever read a damn thing anyone says"
