MODERATORS
 

I've noticed I'm getting downvotes. If you don't want me to post literature here, please just tell me. Maybe I am in the wrong place.

We just want to expand the reach of Hispanic writers. We are an open-source platform.

Btw, I wouldn't want to cause any trouble, so I would like to have the permission of the community and the moderators to continue amplifying the writing of Hispanic authors. If this type of initiative is not welcome, please let the moderators say so clearly.

Thank you and best regards.

So, a few things:

  1. As mentioned by slazer2au, we don't allow self-promotion. It is also in community rules (in sidebar if using web). You can make a general post here with the info about writers, or post to other sites.
  2. Select language while posting. If you set the language then only people who have selected that language will see the content. Most content is by default "undetermined", which is by default selected by everyone. If you select "Spanish" only people who have that selected in their profile will see your content.
  3. Don't post too much at once. There is no hard rule about it though.
  4. Even with all that, some people will still downvote your posts, if you are regularly getting more downvotes than upvotes, then it simply means the community doesn't want to see this kind of content. You can try changing how you post if that happens, or try to engage them by asking how they want it.

Thank you! I will try to make one or two post a day, promoting our spanish writers. I appreciate your words.

Unfortunately, our writers rely on IA for their illustrations bc it's cheap and don't have money to pay a professional illustrator.
