      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)_/¯

              … 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
