Title. If this were Reddit, I could at least see it from the angle of a large audience. But the Fediverse is far too small for that. It’s like every other day there’s some 1 hour old account posting their slop-coded crap to c/SelfHosted.
Like, yes, brand new internet rando, I’ll totally install your vibe-coded slop that makes wild claims about being a super secure messenger or whatever grand claim you’re making. I actually might it it was posted by someone with a positive history here, but these are brand new accounts seemingly unconnected to anyone otherwise active on this platform.
Is it just a “flood the zone” strategy on their part? I’m not active anywhere else anymore, so maybe they’re flinging their slop all over and I only notice it here.
Vibecoders are just really excited to show their stuff around. Some of them happen to find Lemmy. It’s not some organized scheme just vibecoders being vibecoders
No this attitude needs to stop. We’re too fucking far into online culture to be this ignorant. It’s almost always something organized. Maybe not as described but if they’re noticing this someone has a YouTube or podcast talking about promoting it or it’s something you just haven’t picked up on yet.
