Sorry if I seem to be just doing PR. I'm doing a lot more than that. I'm one of the core developers of Raku (née Perl 6). And I publish the Rakudo Weekly blog (https://rakudoweekly.blog )
FWIW, I do think I'm adding material to HN that is interesting to at least some visitors of HN, especially the ones interested in programming, with an emphasis on Raku. The reason I'm triggered by "Perl 6" is that I think it is important that visitors of HN know that it is no longer called that. Once everybody is using Raku instead of Perl 6, there won't be any of these comments.
Whenever there's a new issue of the Rakudo Weekly, I post this on HN. Are you saying that that is not of interest of HN visitors?
I'd therefore like to know what point of the guidelines I'm exactly in violation of.
> Don't solicit upvotes, comments, or submissions. Users should do those things when they run across something they personally find interesting, not because someone has content to promote.
But there was no submission solicitation here. If that's what you're referring to, perhaps this could be reworded to clarify?
On the other hand, it's ok to post your own stuff as part of a diverse mix of stories and comments that are about nothing in particular but just gratify intellectual curiosity. Then you'll be participating in HN as a community member and the community will see your account that way. It's particularly good if you submit stories on weird or out-of-the-way topics that rarely or never get attention. Those are the best!
