The Fediverse Answer to Online Classifieds

With c/Philippines continuing the practice of prohibiting advertisements, we figured we might as well have a fediverse alternate where we can forward these types of posts.

The vaccine jokes, however, will persist despite this community no longer existing on the same space as some QAnon marketplace.

What’s with the name?

Since every single sub about online selling is some variation of “ph” and “classifieds”, we had to quickly veto “1337classifiedzph”. It was a tough decision.

Instead, a reference to “Divisoria” was proposed. Unfortunately, it’s already taken and has no content at all. In our opinion, we’re the Divisoria. Hence, thevisoria.

What can be posted?

In general, we’re quite lenient We’re not just about selling and buying. You can self-promote your shops. You can ask for participants on your survey. You can beg for financial help. You can astroturf. You can ask for recommendations that seem suspiciously self-promotional and astroturfing. Share classified ads-related memes. Whatever, man.

However, since it’s a fairly new place, don’t expect much responses (if any at all) just yet. Which brings me to…

Spread the word

Lastly, we’d appreciate it if you could get your buddies or the rest of the inter-webs know about this community and encourage them to join and post.

Just don’t do it in a desperate and aggressive way like you’re bringing up the Axie team in your FB group chat while the topic is about truffle pasta.

On the other hand, just keep on posting! It achieves the same thing by helping us establish a content-based community and sooner or later this place will be (hopefully) smelling like roses!
