Not sure why my post was flagged.

Just to be clear, Martin (site owner) added GUN to the list, not me. Proof:

As usual, you continue to mention GUN one way or another in every post that is slightly related to CRDTs or decentralization. Your comment would actually fit this submission but I guess at this point people are so tired of your spamming that they had enough, even when it's relevant.

Edit: I just checked out the link you put as "proof" that he added GUN to the list himself, not you. Link: https://twitter.com/martinkl/status/1244672269395406849

I'm not sure I or you misunderstand "Just to be clear, Martin (site owner) added GUN to the list, not me" but it seems pretty clear that you prompted him to add GUN to the list, he didn't discover GUN on his own and then added it.

Mark, when you're gonna realize that this excessive spamming of GUN is not helping your case?

Yeah Mark is the only username I consistently recognize on HN other than Dang (the moderator), and it's because he promotes GUN without fail on just about every post I see about CRDTs, IPFS or decentralized anything. I wouldn't call it spam but it does get over the top.

Just for the record, I was already aware of GUN previously, and think it is a good project to include in the list. We had just forgotten about it when putting together this list of links. I guess I don't check HN all that often. ;)

I get some hate my Open Source project & actively abuse downvotes/flagging to censor me.

But for every 1 hater there are 100s of hackers that have found, starred, used, or told me (in our chat channel) they were thankful they discovered GUN via HackerNews.

& HN guidelines encourage on-topic submissions & comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) "Anything that good hackers would find interesting ... anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" even you have to admit that GUN discussions have sparked a lot of intellectual & algorithm chats.

Finally, you state I'm not spamming then say I am spamming. Spam is indiscriminate posting of something, yet your very own comment says "you always post GUN in discussions about CRDTs & decentralization." That is indeed on-topic according to HN policy.
