I didn't think I was being abrasive but if you feel I was I apologise. I agree I was a bit sarky, I am a direct person and that comes across as rude at times.

I love Art, and I love Design. But honestly if you feel a badly done SMEG air fryer advert is either art or design; then this is clearly not the place for me.

    You can say : "sorry it doesn't talk a lot about design. It fell like an ads."

    It was about the tone.

    Also, but that's not your fault, it may hurt fellings of long term contributors because that's not an easy task, we spent several hour on finding content and sharing them while handling the moderation part. We are a very small community on the threadiverse, so we endorse several role.

    And there is little reward at what we do.

    So when a new user react negatively, most of us are sensitive but that's not an excuse for us to go overboard against users.

    That's all :)

    Btw, what kind of design do you enjoy ? Car ? Architecture ? Object ? Typo ? :)

    I appreciate your moderation. And I appreciate all users who contribute.

    But you have to question if this is an ad or if its content. Content will bring people in. An ad is divisive, and may be called out...as I have. Kidding yourself it's not just harms credibility of the community. Then shouting me down for calling it out just further makes me not want to be here. Do you need introspection on what passes in the community? and how you treat those that question that? well that's your communities conversation.

    I get that its frustrating and you consider me being negative. I just that like that the fediverse is a escape from the rest of the internet littered with someone trying to sell me something, I am always happy to see some graphic design, A nice building, I something that's considered, beautiful, I personally enjoy clever use of design and print design, I was a typographer for many years, and I esp love design history . An air fryer in 4 colors. No thanks.

    I do agree I should work on my tone, and at times sometimes my more is less approach is not interpreted well.

    @Sabrew4k3 if I offended, I apologize.

    how you treat those that question that? well that’s your communities conversation.

    It was already done :

    For me, the blog a mixture of design and ads. There are some posts i like, some that i don’t, probably there are sponsored posts in the blog…and that’s all.
    Design is an ads itself

    We discussed and couldn't reach a conclusion. If we decide to change, it will be after few week. The problem is that we lack contributors.

    I just that like that the fediverse is a escape from the rest of the internet littered with someone trying to sell me something

    Who wouldn't. You may try the internet protocole Gemini. No picture, only text. :)

    I was a typographer for many years

    I worked in space design as a student. When i was a student, teacher gave us several task based on real life work. The first step was aswering people needs, analysing our market and targetting.

    Then, the second step is creating the product and make it appealing through drawing, text, picture, feature...we were designers and advertisers.

    So, i the line find between design and ads blur, that's the opposite with painting but maybe that's because they were old and i'm not the targes ?

    For me, the blog was like reading a newpaper presenting a car's, or new clotch from a famous designer...

    I am always happy to see some graphic design, A nice building, I something that’s considered, beautiful, I personally enjoy clever use of design and print design, I was a typographer for many years, and I esp love design history

    Share it 😊

    "For me, the blog a mixture of design and ads. There are some posts i like, some that i don’t, probably there are sponsored posts in the blog…and that’s all. Design is an ads itself"

    So i invite you to do a design showcase/critique on the content, and what about it meets the merit of design?

    I am not trying to be factious, just curious of your logic on this, because I see the standard template product promotion from the photography style to the linear block by block layout.

    I understand you need people posting but the resistance to call the article an ad is bizarre. Product placement advertising is stretching from away from design to marketing/sales. I understand the two are linked. but there is a fine line.

    By all means ignore and justify why this stuff is posted but honestly IMO it ruins the credibility of small forums like this. I don't mind kitchen products, I love utensils, but i at least call it what it is.
