Someone made a post that is at least irrelevant to !keepwriting@lemmy.world and is asking people to pay money for their ebook, which would be considered unsolicited advertising, i.e. spam.
This happened also in curlyhair. I would also offer to mod that one.
curlyhair? Posting that kind of link there is very suspiciously spammy/spambotty.
Yeah I deleted it. I googled and the company looks legit but ads don’t belong there.
Offer accepted. I made you the mod of !curlyhair@lemmy.world. The old mod hasn’t been active for a long time.
Cool, I removed the post & will keep an eye on the community.

I removed the post from !keepwriting@lemmy.world. Though I have not banned the user or removed their other posts. At least not yet. Their repeated requests for ko-fi donations does look spammy, but they do link to free copies to their writing. In the post you referenced there’s a Google Docs link to the book farther down. I’m not sure if the user is only here to panhandle or if they are just tone-deaf.

Sure thing. You are the mod now. The old mod appears to be long gone.
