    If you truly believe a comment is breaking the rules (e.g. off topic), then report it. Let the mods decide.

    And the mods include … oh look, you! Yes, I’m sure a report will be taken seriously…

    But given the fact that you’re seeing my content, means it’s not being downvoted but upvoted, meaning people actually value my content.

    Just because it’s popular, doesn’t mean it’s following the rules. Just look south of the boarder.

    Again, I have no problem with you focusing on your advocacy, it’s just when you bring it to unrelated discussions.

      You’re more than welcome to report since they’re not the only mod and it’s helpful to have a record of it.

      I’m seeing most of their comments linking that sub in !canada@lemmy.ca and other communities. In this community, they’re active and it makes up a somewhat small and infrequent amount of their comments, so I wouldn’t consider it spam personally.

      But if we get reports from more people and the community has a problem with it then I’m happy to have a conversation about limiting or removing those types of comments.

      Yes, I’m sure a report will be taken seriously…

      I am honestly acting in good faith and taking you seriously right now. If I instead promoted donated money to me directly (which could also be in the same vein of being unrelated discussion), would you have a problem with that? Probably not, but when it’s a cause that actually helps Canada (even if it’s annoying), then it’s a problem? In either case, both (promoting self interests, or proportional representation) would be as obtrusive – which is not much at all.

      Just because it’s popular, doesn’t mean it’s following the rules.

      I never suggested popular means following the rules. The point I was making is that while you don’t appreciate my content, many others do, so please know that you’re not the only person that exists on this community.
