MODERATORS
This is one of the ones that popped up when there was a mass migration off of livejournal, right?
Yes it is.
I don't know.
I think it is! That means I probably have an ancient dead account on there, plus a second dead account from when tumblr made an annoying change. I remember liking it, but just never got into using it. There were a number of lj clones that popped up, but I think dreamwidth is the one I went for. They seemed the most organized and likely to stick around. Since it was founded in 2008, I guess I was right!
But why is my post getting downvoted like that?
This will sound harsh, but you got downvoted for posting a random link to a github page without any explanation of what it was or why anyone might be interested in it.
Try a little bit more effort next time maybe.
People think it's a spam post, maybe?
God forbid an user finds another open source project and wants to show them it, I guess.
You need to add some sort of context. Posting a single link without even a title explaining what it is, makes it look like random spam.
