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
So has reddit seen any user growth that isn’t AI bots? If so it’s relying on the most like… brainwashed and uncreative people signing up.
It does seem a bit weird that you have to wait before commenting or posting. So maybe orchidfiles’ bigger problem is that reddit attaches nasty tracking tech to your device when you join
edit: also, thank you for making me aware of that blog, it seems fun. I’m reading “i live without deadlines or schedules” and, oh man, this is the way i want to be!
From a time / money standpoint, it’s costly to create an account on reddit. You have to have a certain account age and karma to even post in a lot of subreddits, which is an investment of time. Spammers replace time with money buy purchasing access to clean IPs, paying people to set up accounts and spam for karma. The only people who are going to create new reddit accounts, at this rate, are those expecting some kind of return on this time investment.
