avoiding "self promotion" by posting links to your own blog. we should be moving away from information consolidation. if an instance goes down, you don't want all the quality content on it to disappear as well.
I think self promotion is alright sometimes like in the case where someone writes a really detailed technical breakdown of something. It's easier to format complex subjects on your own blog than in a thread. I totally agree if the entire purpose of someone's account is to boost their own website though
I'm fine with someone making an alt account just to promote their stuff. It's healthy to have a firewall between work and relaxation.
