    Stop with the self-promotion spam. This is at least the fifth account and fourth community you have used this week to promote this project.

      You caught me. Honestly, I’m just a solo dev who is incredibly bad at ‘marketing.’ I kept getting my posts deleted on other accounts because I didn’t understand the ‘No Ad’ rules, so I kept trying to find a community that actually liked the project. I realize now that having multiple accounts looks super sketchy—I’m deleting the others and just keeping this one. I really just wanted to share the user32.dll hack I was proud of. My bad!

        Haha, I appreciate the backup! Honestly, I totally get why the other person was annoyed—using multiple accounts was a really clumsy/noob way for me to try and find the right community for this. I’m just a solo dev who is way better at C# than I am at ‘marketing.’ Just glad to finally find a crowd that appreciates the ‘cursed’ nature of the app!

          I saw it for the first time and find it hilarious. Am on Linux (arch btw) so not possible to run it myself unfortunately but had a laugh and am happy you shared it so many times.

            Thanks a lot. Being appreciated after weeks of researching the logic behind (even this is just a joke app lol) really means a lot to me. Also, I’m not trying to hide any of my mistakes while using Lemmy, even though they are not my intention, and I have just used the Lemmy platform for more than 1 week. But I do believe it is still my fault for not understanding this earlier. I will take this as a lesson for future actions instead of just relying on the servers/communities rules. And also make my words less formal just letting you know im not a clanker lol. Thanks again for your motivation and support. .

            It’s exactly as awkward as it looks, lol. Basically, I’m a solo dev who is way better at C# than I am at “The Internet”. I kept getting my posts auto-deleted for “Advertising” rules on my first account, and in my panic, I thought the account itself as “shadowbanned” or something. So I kept making new ones trying to find a community where the project actually “fit” without getting nuked. Total amateur move—I realized too late that it just makes me look like a bot farm. I’m nuking the other accounts and sticking to this one now!

                man i can’t win lol. i literally just tried to reply to this but my comment got nuked by the auto-mod for ‘profanity.’

                but yeah, you caught me—i’m from vietnam and my english is shaky, so i’ve been using tools to polish my grammar because i didn’t want to look like a sketchy spammer. turns out over-polishing it just makes me look like a ‘clanker’ anyway.

                i’ll stop trying to sound professional and just stick to my actual brain. i’m a real dev, just bad at the social part of the internet. my bad.

                  That’s what I thought at first. But the fact that you now say “i’ll stop trying to sound professional and just stick to my actual brain” while still using AI just makes it worse

                Caught me. English isn’t my first language (I’m from Vietnam), so I’ve been using tools to help me fix my grammar because I didn’t want to sound like a 2005 spam email.

                I guess I over-polished it and ended up sounding like a ‘clanker’ anyway lol. Just a real guy trying to share a project without looking like a total idiot. I’ll stick to my actual broken English from now on. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

                  Your comment was auto-removed for profanity, an admin will review it and undelete it soon if there has been an error. Sorry for the inconvenience.

                    … because of the word “id​iot”…?? Or did the bot take offense to the word “clanker” lol

                    That seems to be a very aggressive filter. and blocking all images seems pointless too
