   ✅ With genuine community engagement, absolutely okay. Many small artists rely on Mastodon to pay rent.
   ⚠️ Bot cross-posting without any genuine community engagement should be questioned.
   ❌ Spamming - whether that's post spam, follow spam, or hashtag spam should be forbidden.

     @chris what about half-assed posts that aren't commercial? Are those forbidden?

     @chris that is a really good analogy. Or even laws versus etiquette.

     @evan
     This conversation is making me think of how the US has federal laws vs state laws.

     In this case, Fediverse vs server.

     imo sh*tposts are of real culture value on the internet. Art is in the eye is the beholder, but I think it's totally fair for servers to decide where they draw the line on whether they want those kinds of posts.

     @light @chris there aren't! Even at the legal level, we have users and servers in many countries with different local laws. That's part of what makes it wonderful.
