How is this different from other news aggregators?

• Delta emphasizes signal over noise. Ranking is influenced by community voting and moderation rather than virality, recency alone, or personalization algorithms.

Who can submit content?

• Any registered user may submit content. New accounts may be subject to rate limits to reduce spam and low-effort submissions.

Why didn’t my submission appear?

• Submissions may be filtered due to duplication, off-topic content, unclear titles, or quality concerns. Not all filtering decisions are immediate or visible.

Can I submit my own project or company?

• Yes, provided you disclose your affiliation and focus on technical substance, lessons learned, or novel insights rather than promotion.

How does voting work?

• Votes influence ranking, but they are not the sole factor. Weighting may account for account age, participation history, and community impact.

Why was my comment downvoted?

• Downvotes usually indicate low relevance, low effort, or poor tone—not disagreement alone. Comments that add evidence, experience, or clarity tend to perform better.

Are comments moderated?

• Yes. Moderation focuses on maintaining productive discussion. Personal attacks, harassment, spam, and bad-faith behavior may be removed.

Can I edit or delete my posts?

• Minor edits are allowed shortly after posting. Deletions may be restricted once a discussion is active to preserve context.

Is there an API?

• A public API exists and is full featured, documented publicly and available now. It will provide read-only access to submissions, comments, and user metadata under reasonable rate limits. To use the public API you must hold an account on the site in good standing and submit a request for an oauth2 api token for api access. This request cycle prevents abuse of the public API.

How can I report issues or contact the team?

• For bugs, abuse reports, or general inquiries, use the contact link in the footer. Include relevant links and context when possible.
