Edit: I’ve updated the link to the authors own shop
The irony of this being an Amazon link.
You’re right. I should have use the authors own shop https://www.zotzmann-koch.com/book/privacyworkbook/
Edit: I’ve updated the link
Not ironic. Intentional.
Is there a way to block users on lemmy like there is on mastodon? I don’t want anyone directing me to an Amazon web page… ever.
Don’t you think your reaction is completely over the top? Blocking an entire user because you do not like a single Amazon link? When I see that in the seven months you’ve been registered, you made only 6 posts of your own and only 24 comments, of which one can be considered an obvious aggression.
People like you are the reason, why I disabled the downvote button on my instance. Downvoting because you dislike Amazon, although it is not the subject, is simply a ridiculous reaction.
EDIT: Pro-tip: When you see it’s an Amazon link, then don’t click it and leave it alone!
It’s called spam. It’s promoting a site I detest. I can block your instance in my hosts file. I’m okay with blocking. My block list on Mastodon is over 5000 users. That’s the beauty of block lists. I don’t have to see garbage I don’t want to see. You can go on your merry way doing what you want without me in your audience.
It’s not spam, and please be more civil, not everyone can be satisfying the technical needs of others, even if I think it’s a good idea to link to better websites this is not the way of asking for it.
It is spam. It’s an unsolicited ad for a product and a service. I’m not a claque or a sycophant saying what everyone wants me to say. I don’t visit here to click on links trying to sell me something. If the book is so wonderful, tell us why you think it’s so wonderful. It might be that I know more than the author and it’s complete a waste of my time. Evidently, I have to trust the individual and buy the book out of blind faith. Think about it… If Lemmy had the ability to block users, you wouldn’t have to read my opinion and you could joyfully click ads to products you can buy all day.

But in other ways than begging in a pissed way for a user blocking function like an extremistic preacher directly under the link, because someone posted a link to Amazon or another closed platform. There is also a discussion about such a topic at https://lemmy.ml/post/72065

Edit: Here are my Mastodon profiles. Please block me! I never want to get in touch with you there too!

The problem is that Lemmy apparently has no way to block users. I went ahead and just added both domains to my hosts file. I’m not adverse to using a tank to get rid of a mosquito.

The real issue is that I click a link that I think is going to be interesting and relevant and it takes me to someone trying to sell something. That’s not Amazon’s fault. The person at fault is the person who thought I wanted to look at a product listing for sale. That’s not how I want to spend my time on social media. I want to block users.
