CurseForge is the gold standard of how NOT to build a platform for developers or players
It genuinely feels like every project is reviewed by a different moderator who read the guidelines for the first time five minutes before starting their shift.
The (!) exact same mod version gets rejected today, approved tomorrow, and the day after that only the Fabric build is accepted while the NeoForge build is suddenly considered "suspicious". Apparently... today's moderator just decided to wear a bigger clown nose than yesterday's. There is no consistency. There is no logic. Just randomness disguised as "moderation."
If your review process requires someone to manually dig through tens of thousands of lines of the same project on every single release (Dream Displays, my development, is around \~40k lines of code), inventing a new reason for rejection every time, then the problem isn't the developer.
The most absurd part is that the exact same code can be considered "unacceptable" one day and perfectly fine a few hours or days later without any meaningful changes. If the outcome depends more on which moderator happens to review it than on the code itself, your moderation process is fundamentally broken.
The interface is a joke in its own right. Half the site is still stuck in a decade-old UI, the other half uses a newer one, and together they look like someone stitched two completely different websites together with worn-out duct tape. It honestly feels like nobody at the company has ever tried using their own platform, because otherwise it's impossible to explain this mess.
The developer experience is just as bad. Even the simplest tasks turn into an expedition through layers of old and new interfaces... Every release feels less like publishing an update and more like fighting a platform that seems actively designed to waste developers' time. There are no meaningful analytics. Image uploads are buggy. Everywhere you look, there are unfinished features and obvious rough edges.
And the funniest part is that this has been going on for years. There is no predictability, no respect for developers, and no apparent interest in making the process even remotely consistent.
You have only endless bureaucracy through support tickets, contradictory moderation decisions, and the feeling that every release has to win the lottery before anyone is allowed to see it.
I don't think a platform like this can be fixed anymore. It's beyond repair.

Pick 5 mods for a forever world!
The premise is this: If you can only have 5 mods (content mods) in your forever world, which ones are you choosing?

Looking for must play modpacks
Hey, have been playing vanilla mc for years and recently I have been having the urge to get into modded mc. I've seen some recs, but it's been hard to settle on one. Maybe someone can recommend any must play packs (older or new) for anyone getting into modded mc this year? Something I could really stick to. Doesn't need to be baby level, I feel like I can take some researching and extra grinding
