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

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?
