When does "forever" start?
If nobody was allowed to post their own stuff, then things like official comic accounts wouldn't exist. Or official accounts in general.
We wouldn't want official accounts of any corporation in this community.
That seems unwise.
It would be better to have some known corporate accounts, than only unknown corporate accounts.
Before the internet even existed. You are aware that forums have existed before anyone made an account on Lemmy, right?
The etiquette of other forums don't define the etiquette here. You're aware that the entire internet doesn't exist in a monoculture, right?
