> I get some hate my Open Source project & actively abuse downvotes/flagging to censor me.

The "hate" (I'd say critique) is not against GUN as a project nor the code or the project itself. It's about you constantly posting about GUN.

> "you always post GUN in discussions about CRDTs & decentralization."

This is a bit unfair, that's not a direct quote of what I wrote, and I'm sure you know this. What I wrote is this: "every post that is slightly related to CRDTs or decentralization". The "slightly" part is important, because many of your comments mentioning GUN is on submissions not related to GUN at all. For example, if a submission is about Mastodon, I'm fairly certain I'll see a comment from you promoting GUN with your usual metrics.

Again, I have nothing against GUN itself, but people do get tired, even if it's interesting the first time, when someone continues to mention their project over and over again.

Others have mentioned this to you in the past as well (one example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21383815) but it doesn't seem to stick. Maybe it's time for dang or other moderators to have a chat with you, if they haven't already.

Because I'm bored, here is some examples of comments you've made promoting GUN on unrelated posts with low effort content in order to get in a link to GUNs website (in the last 3 months) [maybe this list will help you realize what people are getting tired off]
