Has anyone else been sucked into r/developers?
That's r/developers, not r/developer (this subreddit right here).
r/developers started showing up in my Reddit feed not long after I subscribed to r/developer -- but absolutely every time I attempt to post or even comment in r/developers I find that they have deliberately sabotaged the forum, by AutoMod.
Specifically, they never ever allow me to post anything because every single time they claim I'm including "external links" which violate the forum rules... the first time it was "my.domain.com" and today it was C#.NET and VB.NET -- except that even after I edited the post to "C# DotNET and VB DotNET" the forum and its phony AutoMod then decided that VB DotNET was still an external link, so I was still not allowed to post.
Feels to me like r/developers is literally there to imitate r/developer, but the mods are just plain trolls who make totally phony posts (which look a whole lot like the legitimate posts in this subreddit here) in the interest of pissing people off and making them think r/developer is to blame. I like to think I'm pretty on-the-ball with this stuff, but it still took me a few repetitions of this troll-mod behavior in r/developers to figure out that it was NOT happening in r/developer
