[Meta] No social media startups are allowed to be posted here until after 4/1/2021 due to scams and it being too big of a time sink for me.

Due to the political climate here in Washington and the fact I have wasted most of my Saturday being messaged about this by angry people who want to start a new social media platform they can invite people who are now banned from Twitter onto, etc, I am banning all social media platform startups form posting in this subreddit for "I want to build a new twitter " and "I want my own facebook" style posts for the next 3 months. I hate doing this, for the record. This has been officially added to the official rules. I hope this is temporary. I really do. I honestly DO want to see more social networks exist, BUT I just don't want to deal with the junk involved with having hours of my day sucked out of my life dealing with the inevitable drama... because If these talks last only even 1 minute, and I only had 10% of the people in here message me about it, it would still be more hours than are in the day taking up my time; I'm one single man, trying to cultivate a garden of over 20,000 people, so to make things easy for me and to be a little greedy and get back time I can use to build up my own life after running this subreddit by myself full time for for over 8 years alone, I'm banning social media "I want my own twitter that I cant be banned from" style posts until things cool down. If I had more active mods etc. maybe this wouldn't be a thing; but I don't and so it is. Edit: This has been extended until April of next year, 2022. submitted by /u/honestduane [link] [comments] https://www.reddit.com/r/cofounder/comments/ku63h9/meta_no_social_media_startups_are_allowed_to_be/
