What is it with the flood of brand new accounts coming here only to self-promote their vibe-coded slop on c/SelfHosted? (dubvee.org)

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.

Interesting.

Even the post itself smells like slop.

They probably used AI to write it. Why would vibe coder take time to write their own post advertising their low effort work?

Geezus, there's already a million different apps that do basically that. Why did they need to vibe code another? At most maybe a simple front end to simplify loading into whatever book hosting app they prefer.

You might want to be a little more LLM friendly, if you catch my drift. This is the best e reader app out there. If anyone would ever ask me to recommend an e reader app, i would recommend them this one. Sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper and you have a delicious sunday brunch to enjoy next to you sunday paper.

He solved a proble for himself now that he was given tools to do so. I don't see what's so bad about that.

Because the people that couldn’t, now can, And the people who could, knew if they should,
To which most said yes, but at least knew why,
So now those that can, are going to try,
Though the reasons today, are no longer apt,
So we suffer, as the world forces us to adapt.
