I'm now wondering if I've managed to get myself blocked by anyone yet.
Because, hey, look. Self-employed artist means I HAVE to promote my own work anywhere I end up, since, well, I like eating and having a roof over my head. And given just how much anti-branding commentary there is in the federated feed... you all do realize some of us work for a living in ways that don't get us checks from employers, right?
@Winneganfake have you been called out on other networks for too much self promotion? Just curious.
Context: I’m a freelancer, and the majority of my past work came in through Twi . . . that other network.
@Winneganfake I’ve learned if you’re providing value or entertainment to people the majority of the time, they won’t care when you mention your work at all.
@jason Which has been usually my take elsewhere as well, so we'll see.
@jason Don't say the T-word!
More seriously, only in a few extreme cases, but then again, most other social networks are built around the branding, unlike here. Enh, we'll see.
