I think affiliate links should be banned or restricted from this instance (self.main)

I noticed this Wealthsimple Community pop up in my "active" list today.

Clicked in and noticed its empty, but the sidebar contains a sneaky affiliate link for the moderator of that community.

Same thing with the Wealthsimple Trade Community.

I think this sort of activity should be banned from here tbh, definitely at the mod level.

Like I said, if it's all contained in a community I can si.pky block, no problem.

If ads are allowed across the whole instance, I will change instances and block the whole instance.

I'm here to look at content, not be persuaded to spend money.

I'm not an admin, but I think an instance wide rule against links anywhere that are affiliate links would be insane and maybe you should go.
