The project 'Edmodo' permanently shut down its services in September 2022 and is no longer operational. The submission appears to be a low-effort or 'zombie' entry (e.g., placeholder email, vague claims like 'everyone'). While the platform historically had significant utility and traction, it currently has zero real-world utility or market relevance. The submission fails to provide verifiable current metrics, and the platform's discontinued status constitutes a critical red flag.
