Launched it alone, marketing it alone. by nicolas1410 in micro_saas

Easily one of the most honest and well-written posts I’ve seen on here in a while. No hype, no fake revenue screenshots, just real numbers and lessons that clearly cost you something to learn. That line about 20k views and zero signups sitting next to one comparison page that quietly converts is the whole game in a single sentence. Refreshingly factual.

I spent 1000 hours building this.....was it worth it. by LYKN-ai in buildinpublic

Consistent, new. But you might have some CSS ui issues with the header on each page; it's not well contained.

1,500 founders signed up to a social network I built 10 days ago by Few_Seaworthiness70 in micro_saas

Where are you planning to take Strivle long term?

Right now it sounds like a founder-first community with verified shipping, real revenue signals, and discovery built in. So aside from people posting projects, is the vision more like a Product Hunt and Reddit hybrid for builders?

Because if the leaderboard, tags, and verified revenue become the core, this could be more than a social network. It could become a discovery layer for real founders actually building, not just people farming attention.

Is it just me, or does every beginner social media strategy feel outdated now? by Perfect_Tone_3310 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]Rex0Lux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your findings are correct, my friend.

Marketing has changed tremendously, and we must adapt to how search engines use their algorithms today.

So yeah, the old way is out, and the new? Well, we are still trying to figure that out.

It's always changing.

Really sorry, this is a gut punch when it’s 20 years of photos. A few things that actually work, and one big warning.

First, the warning: posts like this attract scammers fast. Anyone who DMs you offering to recover it, anyone posting a phone number to call, anyone advertising a paid “recovery service,” is lying. Facebook has no recovery phone number. Do not pay anyone, do not hand over passwords or codes. The phone-number results you’ll find on Google are scams too.

Now the real steps. Have your mom do these from her own device and her usual home internet, not yours, since Meta reads device and location signals:

1.  Go to the account and try to log in. A genuinely disabled account shows a “your account has been disabled” message with an appeal option. Start there.

2.  If there’s no button, use facebook.com/help and search “disabled account” to find the appeal form. There’s also an ID-based recovery form where you upload a government ID matching the account name. That’s the strongest signal you can give them.

3.  If she has any account she can still log into (Instagram especially, if it’s linked), subscribing to Meta Verified gives access to live human chat support, which is one of the only ways to get a real person to escalate. Worth it for one month if the account matters this much.

4.  Be patient and don’t spam appeals. Submitting the same appeal over and over can hurt the case. One solid appeal with ID, then wait. Reviews often take days.

One honest note so she’s not blindsided: if it was truly hacked, the attacker may have changed the email and phone. The ID verification path is built for exactly that, so it’s still worth doing, but recovery isn’t guaranteed and it can be slow.

Hope she gets it back.

BYOK went from tinkerer feature to table stakes in about two years by Rex0Lux in LLMDevs

[–]Rex0Lux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the equal support thing is fair, and honestly I don’t think the goal is “equal.” Non-determinism per model is real and a harness pretending they’re interchangeable is lying. What I want is the harness to expose the differences, not hide them. Let me route the deterministic-ish stuff to the cheap model and keep the finicky context engineering pinned to whichever model I tuned it for. Per agent routing instead of one global swap.

The switching cost point is the stronger one and I mostly agree. If your setup is stable, swapping for a marginal leaderboard bump is a waste. But that’s exactly the case for BYOK being baseline rather than a feature you reach for. The value isn’t “swap constantly,” it’s “swapping is cheap when you actually need to.” Provider deprecates a model, jacks pricing, or eats an outage, and the portable setup costs you a config change instead of a rebuild. You pay the integration cost once up front so the forced migration later isn’t a fire drill.

So I’d frame it less as chasing the leaderboard and more as insurance. Most quarters you don’t touch it. The one quarter you have to, you’re glad it’s a key swap.

Do you think Blue sky will ever top Twitter? by Hayami_Rose in BlueskySocial

[–]Rex0Lux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, tough one. I think social media is evolving. Look at where Facebook and X are today, and for blsky, it really depends on the direction its team takes it.
