So, uhm, what the hell is going on with all these ad posts I’m seeing in this community?

    No idea, but I notice it too

    Just blocked and reported an account and the single shill-post it produced. Not sure what to do about it, maybe we need more mods

    Saw that too, it’s annoying. In a weird way, spam kinda legitimizes this platform as a Reddit alternative.

    What do you mean? When I lurk here, I ignore the sites that Idk. I rely on sites that I know are legit like Verge, Techcrunch, Engadget, Cnbc, Bloomberg, Ars Technica and Electrek. The sites that Idk may be legit too but I don’t wanna spend much time researching the legitimacy.
