The sidebar says
This community is the place to discuss and ask questions about anime, anime news, and related topics
Emphasis mine. Episode discussions are created here constantly, so what’s the problem with linking a full legal episode of an anime?
The idea that if it was a trailer it would be fine is ridiculous
I’m glad common sense prevailed. It was literally a case of hey I saw something new, let’s post it to the biggest anime community on the Fediverse and see if anyone else is interested or has watched it and that got shut down. The emphasis should be on community rather than rigid rules or bot posts.
That’s one thing I like about this community (and instance). I noticed that community members are generally nicer to each other; I’m guessing it’s because we share a common interest. Our moderators are pretty swell too.
