Hi everyone! We're hosting the AMA LIVE on X (Twitter) and will be answering questions posted on the Forum during the Live.

A while back we launched @Wordware and broke Product Hunt during our launch.

We're here to share bits of wisdom from our launch strategy, answer launch questions you may have, and even help point you in the right direction for the launch day!

I support structured, high-value discussions nobody wants forums filled with spam and self-promotion. But here s the issue: understanding what qualifies as valuable.

Product Hunt s updated guidelines push for original, engaging, and non-replicable content. Makes sense. But when posts disappear without clear reasoning, it creates confusion.

• Where s the line between sharing insights and self-promotion?

• What defines a post as high-value in this new system?

• Why not offer feedback instead of outright removals?

Stronger moderation is great if paired with transparency. Instead of guessing what works, clearer guidelines and examples could help everyone create better discussions.

Unlike other social media platforms, I perceive a lower level of "centralization of power" on Reddit (such as in the comparison of X Musk, IG, FB Zuckerberg, which are starting to become politically tinged).

I'm starting to see this place as a more reliable and balanced source of information, where discussions can be held at a high level, perhaps also due to sometimes stricter moderation.
