So movim.eu is a publisher now, people are reaching me to publish articles

if you want to reach a wide and targeted audience, contact Movim Targeting Services !

edhelas: ask how much they are offering

edhelas: focus more pls

> So movim.eu is a publisher now, people are reaching me to publish articles Wait, that's not a Roskomnadzor letter :/

I tough so at first

but it's the third time they are contacting me

Ah, right, those would demand removing articles ✏

edhelas: you're lazy I see

Licaon_Kter ?

> but it's the third time they are contacting me :)

Yeah, the support team is kinda busy right now

edhelas: I get e-mail like that all the time, asking if I would publish something onto "my website" where the website that they're talking about is a GNU social group. I usually respond that they're welcome to just post to it themselves from another GNU social site, and tell them to let me know if they'd like my help setting their own up or finding an open community social hub to join. Occasionally they actually respond thoughtfully. More often the same e-mail just keeps coming.

rozzin oh interesting

fun thing is that they are actually doing the effort of contacting the admin

Everything outside email would be out-of-band for them, too much effort :) The only ones who don't think that way are xmpp spammers probably

But for them, email would be oob

It doesn't take much effort for me to send those responses, and *usually* the thing they're asking to post wouldn't actually be out of place in the group feed that they identified. So it often seems like a reasonable risk/reward to try to introduce people publishing articles to the `platforms' that I want more people to be using.

no asking how much they'd pay? maybe it's enough to sponsor a good chunk of work? :P

That's not James Veitch talk material

Too genuine, I mean :))

everyone has a price, no use being ashamed about it

Sure
