Meanwhile on reddit.
Honestly kind of sounds like lemmy.world mods like Jordan Lund tho…
To get a project featured on the subreddit, developers now need to show it has been actively maintained for at least a year, has an established community, and has at least three contributors, give or take. Student projects such as note-taking apps and PDF viewers aren’t welcome either, and developers can no longer use the subreddit to find people willing to help maintain their software.
That creates a chicken-and-egg problem for independent developers, who apparently need an established community before they can use an open source forum to find one. Even projects with no AI involvement could fall foul of the rules. One Reddit user pointed out that their nine-year-old project, which has more than 300 GitHub stars and dozens of resolved issues, would no longer qualify because they’re its sole contributor.
The moderator also imposed a minimum Reddit account age of one year and requires significant prior contributions. Anyone who attempts to post and then contacts the moderators seeking an exception risks being permanently banned and muted.
Stop talking about Reddit!
Why does it bother you so much that people talk about something you don’t like in a place where people are allowed to talk about things?
There’s a block button for made for just this thing.
no. by this logic i should go post porn in c/catloaf and get offended when the admins ban me instead of people just individually blocking me. there are specific communities for specific purposes, if you’re posting in the wrong community you’re liable to get your shit removed with prejudice. mods have a ‘block’ button, too.
I agree with OP
And if you know these mods that remove posts for being in the “wrong communities” with extreme prejudice, let me know so I can block those communities.
i’ll bear your preferences in mind in my future decision making
Neat!
Wah wah if you dont like it block it.
