I wanted to share my open-source solution on Reddit. I created an account, found a community where people post links to their projects, and posted a link to my GitHub project there. The post was immediately deleted, and my account was banned.
It turns out you first need to write
This is why it feels bizarre to me how people are so stuck on the idea of reddit and reddit-like feed aggregation. The internet died due to enshitification and dead internet theory. But there’s a third factor. Nobody seems to actually want how the internet used to be. They only nostalgia for and fantasize about the idea of it.
They shake their heads when served up content older style content that isn’t bland corporatized slop. They want their familiar posts and handful of approved content sources.
Pretty much every subreddit started the way you described /r/startrek. Self posts and interesting links were the norm. Now most of them have a couple of pre-approved domains and posters.
Of course just about every mod’s excuse I’ve heard is they can’t be assed to actually moderate. So they set the automod filter to allow a few domains.
That’s my generous take. By now I’ve seen enough to know for sure that couple of mods of certain subs have been abusing this as cover for their own personal gain. But that’s another bunch of rants.
