Let’s say it loud and clear:

There’s nothing wrong with promoting your small business, your art, books, your services on mastodon or any other social media.

Self promotion is not an ad!

It’s being part of a community.

People have to do it. Other people might need and want the good stuff their community members might offer.

Mutual support and buying from your community members is good, wholesome and necessary.

Boost if you agree, so creators feel welcomed to self promote here

@ThistleArts that needed to be said. But not all ads are bad either. Most people don’t mind them. It’s their use in surveillance capitalism strategies and tactics that we should all mind.
@shoq I agree with this as well.
