Hey, I'm Mark Nadal and I was accepted into Mozilla's "Fix the Internet" program - it has been fantastic so far & huge respect to everyone at Mozilla for putting this on. Note: I doubt anyone will see this comment as HackerNews has shadow banned my account because my Open Source project competes with some of YC's investments (it undermines & destroys the need/market for some of their crypto-coin scams). I interviewed…

The only recent dead post of yours seems to be https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22761370. Are you sure that you are shadow-banned?

We banned you after many years of you promoting your product aggressively on HN, using shady tactics such as voting rings and links to things that looked unrelated but were in fact stealthy ways of promoting the exact same thing over and over.

Users complained frequently about you spamming HN over all these years—there are many more comments like these:

, but we gave you the benefit of the doubt and cut you slack until finally enough was enough. We've banned countless users for far less.

We moderate HN less when YC or YC startups are involved (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...), but I don't see how that relates to this.

Hi! My name is Jatin and I am currently participating in Mozilla's Lab, working on a product to improve the conditions of small businesses in India by adding a source of income for them. Our mentors and folks from other teams have been incredibly helpful and I highly recommend joining this incubator.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have built this in my spare time. https://epiphany.pub/post?refId=2684bc94f9fcb9ffe637ebfbeba2... I want to build a blogging/writing/learning experience with program-ability, and collaboration (version control). Is this the kind of idea you are looking for? The long term goal is defining an interactive file format that is suitable for data exploration and explanation.

hey billconan, cool site! yes these are definitely the projects we're looking for. one thing to note would be: who is your target audience? what we would like to see is a well defined target group and a product that meets that groups needs.

there will be 2 groups of users.

Students can use this for their homework. It will be a better mathematics.

Programmers can use this as a knowledge community. similar to dev.to
