I think affiliate links should be banned or restricted from this instance (lemmy.ca)

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.

I agree. Affiliate links have no place on here, and they can lead to sneaky attempts to advertise.

For the record, it looks like both communities have the same moderator.
