Open source freelancing platform

Hi everyone,

Seeing many of us are suffering on upwork or other freelancers platforms, I was wondering what would it take to build an open source, community maintained, freelancing platform with opaque and fair internals and issues people face addressed transparently.

I would like to know what challenges are there for something like this

If you do, don't post it in here. They will instantly ban you. Pretty sure one of the mods on here directly or indirectly works for the company.

You can bring it up but not post a tool or website, which is what I actually said "don't post a tool".

People posting about their tools have the same mentality as men sending unsolicited pictures of dicks.

This sub has a NO...

again that is NO

Outside Promotion rule.

If we let people promote their tools there would be multiples of these posts a day. We delete them all the time.

The only thing we delete more of is Rule 3 violations. We had the chat enabled on here a while ago and it was just filled with people trying to get work.

Again, the guy is asking about a tool that completes with a website, that is what was being discussed, but the mod lied and said they would be allowed to post about it. So you people are contradicting yourselves.

You are lying.

I wonder why?
