Suggestion for moderators (lemmy.zip)

Hey, this suggestion is for the sub's moderators. As you know, many European services require paid subscriptions, and it turns out many of us can't afford to pay for all of them every month or year. My suggestion is that the sub's moderators set aside one day a month to highlight service subscriptions that are on sale; this would help the community A LOT in several ways. Upvote if you agree and share your thoughts in the comments, thanks for your attention (:

I like the intention behind your idea and understand the value, but I don't think this responsibility should be on the mods alone, or that it should be isolated to a single day each month.

If I may, please permit me to make a friendly amendment: make it a pinned post for the month where the community can comment the deals they're aware of. This would distribute the responsibility to us all (not burdening the mods), result in a greater number and diversity of services/sales being posted (many eyes sourcing deals), and provide a single, highly visible place to find this information without it getting lost among the other frequent posts.

Hopefully my comment is seen as helpful and respectful.
