We chatted about it, and I don’t see any reason why we would stop anyone else from doing the same on their personal blog (an example of this is some of the recent discussion for the russian HPMOR printing, or the MIRI fundraiser updates, the latter of which also had an update in the comments).
Organizational updates and comments are totally fine on your personal blog, and commenting on your own post with updates is also totally fine. Agree that multiple top-level posts would be bad, but don’t see any problem with commenting. I generally think we as admins should lead by example, and I don’t see any particular reason why more posts and comments like this would be bad for the site (as long as they stay off the frontpage section and are of interest to people in the community).
Happy to discuss this more over in meta if you want.
What’s the proper venue to object to the admin of the site spruiking for money for his other projects?
I’m sure it matters to you but I feel like you didn’t consider the conflict of interest here in making your comments.
I’m okay with one top level post, but not okay with ongoing posting.
