which problems are you referring to?

Oh I forgot that one. Good catch.

Hey everyone,

Sorry about this. When I used the term fraternity, I didn’t think of it as male term (I was briefly in a co-ed frat in college w/ 70% women). Oops! I see that this was a terrible slip up! Apologize for terrible word choice.

Basically I enjoy events and building communities (inclusive ones!), and I wanted to throw more and create some sort of social club / support group. Appreciate you bringing this up so I can change the messaging to be more inclusive.

Hey HN! Erik from Product Hunt here. Just wanted to chime in to say that 45% of site visitors are outside the U.S.

also, good feedback.

it's a good idea - but we want to make it super easy for the product submitter to post.

for some reason, we find that people are more responsive on twitter.

the idea of a bot is intriguing, but right now I'm manually finding founders contact info, reaching out, getting them in the system, asking them Q+A's on producthunt.com, cc'ing other relevant players in the convo, and following up with them to see how PH influenced their traffic and how we can help (which, again, founders respond gratefully for all the free traffic)

If anyone has suggestions for ways to automate part of this, as it takes a long time, i'm open!

no robot here - just a hustler working on product hunt and, yes, manually reaching out to founders to let them know that they just got free press.

Many of them respond with a "Thanks". Not one person has said "Spam".
