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.

Maybe someone with a Claude/Codex account or OpenClaw should ask their assistant to draft a plan for an automated advertising campaign. For us to see if the Fediverse somehow ends up high on that list. Their scrapers certainly hit us hard, we're most likely in the datasets of some AI models.

I would never feed the beast to attempt that, but if anyone would, I'd be interested to see the plan it generates and if the fediverse is a part of that.
