This subreddit is for news and discussion.
Self promotion goes in the weekly self promotion thread. Any personal affiliation with a product or tool must be fully disclosed at the top of a post or comment. We won't mind you promoting projects you're part of but if this is your sole purpose in this subreddit we don't want it. Consider buying advertisements if you want to promote your project or products. Note that posts should be as self-contained as possible and not link to external blogs. This is not a space to funnel traffic.
Posts that are low-effort, spammy, repetitive, or add little value to discussion are not allowed. For example (but is not limited to) AI content, prompt dumps, and stealth marketing. All content must be original thought, show context, or have meaningful contribution. Memes allowed only on meme-Mondays This rule is enforced at moderator discretion. If your post or comment reads like it was primarily generated by LLMs there is a high chance it will be removed under this rule.
Survey, poll, and research-related posts require moderator approval. This includes market surveys, vendor poll requests, academic surveys, product validation requests, etc. Surveys without prior approval will be removed. Academic research requires affiliation with an accredited institution and all research must be conducted under a professor with approval from a recognized ethics review body and requires a data protection statement specifying jurisdiction (GDPR etc.)
There's no reason to have a level of indirection here. They could also change/disappear in the future.
