- dreamrealBTW as usual if you think that's worth sharing, it's up to you to share it: I'm not good at social media propagation, I've done what I can and everything else is up to readers (which, oddly enough, is tangentially related to what the post is about.)
- ChronosGood article. I shared it in a few places.
- dreamrealThank you!
- dreamrealI'm still trying to get it on HN but if *I* post it it's astroturfing
- [twisti]isnt the opposite of that true ?
- [twisti]having people post it for you would be astroturfing, i think
- dreamrealIt is, sort of: the only defense to that is that I ask that it be something they'd be willing to do without my asking. But if I don't ask, nobody thinks "I wonder if this would help?"
- dreamrealBut the site policy specifically prevents ME from promoting my own site: chickens, eggs. And thus: if you don't think it's worth sharing, don't share it. But if you do, please be willing to share.
- dreamrealIf that annoys you, I get it. Welcome to the world. I try to give everything away with the hope that something of value comes back to me, and if it doesn't, well, so be it... but I'm still goona try until I can't.
- dreamrealif you don't want to share, for the love of all that's holy, please DO NOT.
- Chronosdreamreal: I submitted it to HN
- ChronosI submitted it *before* dreamreal mentioned HN, so I don't consider it astroturfing :)
- dreamrealwhat url? I didn't see it
- dreamrealFound it! Grazi
