Tried to discuss a new payment app on two different forums last month
One thread got locked in 20 minutes for 'unverified claims,' while the other had a 200-comment debate on merchant fees. Anyone know a good place to actually talk shop about this stuff?

Wait, they locked it for just talking about an app?

Ever try the smaller tech forums? The big ones get weird fast. I had a thread nuked on a major subreddit for just mentioning a beta feature. Found a niche forum for payment systems where the mods actually work in the industry. People there get into the real weeds, like how a 2.9% fee breaks down versus a flat rate. It's way less about rules and more about how things actually work.

The real weeds talk is great until you realize they're all selling the same thing.

Follow the money trail instead. @beth276 mentioned app locking, but the real tell is when "expert" forums ban anything that threatens their affiliate links.
