Is Advertising/promoting a Discord server in dms against tos?

detoxification
On the discord Tos it's said : You may use the Service to send messages to other users of the Service. You agree that your use of the Service will not include sending unsolicited marketing messages or broadcasts (i.e., spam). Marketing : the action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising. Is it refering to literal marketing? which is promoting of PRODUCTS and SERVICES to consumer. Does a discord server qualify as such? Because it is not a product for consumers to purchase nor is it a service for consumers to use.

    Aware this is 2 months old.

    Yes, it breaks ToS of sending Discord DMs. Proven by discord themself with a tweet from 2018: https://twitter.com/discord/status/1028300393611231233 .

    Discord Partner Owners also brings this up on his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFgcVfSUctg 

    So discord and a discord partner say it breaks (or can lead to breaking) ToS.

    The Discord Terms of Service prohibit sending unsolicited marketing messages or broadcasts, which generally refers to promoting and selling products or services to consumers. While a Discord server is not a product or service for consumers to purchase or use, it can still be used for marketing purposes, such as promoting a business, product, or service. Therefore, it's important to ensure that any messages or broadcasts sent on Discord do not violate the platform's anti-spam policies, regardless of the content being marketed.

    The Discord Terms of Service prohibit sending unsolicited marketing messages or spam through the platform. While marketing typically refers to promoting products or services to consumers, in the context of Discord, it can encompass various forms of unwanted communication, including promotional messages, advertisements, or solicitations. Although Discord itself is not a product or service for consumers to purchase, the restriction aims to maintain a positive user experience by preventing spam and unwanted content. If you have further questions about Discord's policies or need assistance with website seo audit services, feel free to ask!
