I agree almost entirely with [ArtOfCode](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/74781#answer-74782). In particular, I will tell you that, as a current Stack Overflow moderator, I have every intention of removing Meta posts that serve no other purpose than to advertise Codidact or any other platforms. And aside from whether or not Stack Exchange will allow it, it just wouldn't be in good taste. Again, as ArtOfCode says, Codidact needs to come up with its own way of advertising that is sustainable and works for this site.

That said, Meta Stack Overflow *does* have at least one Q&A discussing alternatives to Stack Overflow. There is nothing wrong with posting an answer there and/or editing an existing community-wiki answer to add a link to Codidact. Stack Overflow (and indeed Stack Exchange the company) recognizes that their site is not the end-all-be-all of the Internet. There are folks who don't like Stack Overflow's style for plenty of reasons, be it because they want to ask more "discussion"-style questions, because they don't like the idea of a moderated site, or whatever. There are existing answers pointing out the existence of Quora, Yahoo Answers, etc. Codidact may well take its place among these many Stack Exchange alternatives, and there's nothing wrong with a tasteful mention there.

Whatever you do, though, ***don't*** go around answering Meta questions that raise a specific complaint about the Stack Exchange platform with a, "This place totally sucks; you should drop it and try Codidact instead!". That will not only get deleted, but may earn you a stern talking-to by a Stack Exchange moderator. I think we can all agree that that would just be in bad taste.
