Sharing here. Must be good to have my whole sub deleted lol!

This is a clone of the original sub that was on lemmy.ml, I'm not really sure who the mod/owner is here.

So lemmy.ml deleted your app's sublemmy (whatever that thing is called, cant recall)? That's shitty.

Edit: I went through the github. Pretty cool! As phones have microphones baked in, it would be awesome to have a simple no frills app available, that would make this 500% more mainstream compared to termux use.

But dunno if thats what interests you, tho

Yeah, it was literally just me posting stuff that I found interesting and sharing applications I made. There was only one other active user lol.

sublemmy (whatever that thing is called, cant recall)?

Just FYI Lemmy Community, hence /c/

There could have been a better name of the term chosen, but this is what it is.

Lol is it actually vibe coded? If so, then I kinda understand the decision, even if it was done in the douchiest way possible.

I don't understand why some people think they can AI generate security sensitive apps? You're not the first I've seen. This is like the worst possible scenario for AI codegen. It's so wild, I honestly can't tell if it's sarcasm or not whenever I see one.

There's a popular meme where Google Gemini says that geologists recommend you eat 3 rocks per day or something like that, and it's funny, but also an example of how insanely dangerous it can be for someone who lacks knowledge/experience in a topic to rely on AI. I don't think many people will actually believe they should eat rocks, but they'll definitely believe it if Gemini recommends incorrect dosage for some medication.

Using vibe-coded software for anything security-related is the same thing, albeit not as (immediately) hazardous to your health.

  • Don't use security-sensitive vibe coded apps
  • Don't let friends use security-sensitive vibe coded apps
  • Don't make security-sensitive vibe coded apps
  • Don't take this personally, if you're making security-sensitive vibe coded apps

No it's not vibe coded at all. I know exactly what this program is doing line for line.

Shouldn't their modlog show who deleted your community and when? That still won't tell you why, which is the more important question, but it could help to understand what happened.

(Especially looking at who deleted it and perusing their post history might give you some clues.)

Good point yes just found it.

Removed and banned for slop and snake oil hmmmm. What a joke.

Annoying cause it had 100 votes in an hour and I was talking with the community about potential improvement and design implementations.

This only mentions deleting a post and banning you from c/privacy. What was your community called? What instance was it on?

[–] hereforawhile@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

Secure Coms on lemmy.ml . I am the original creator, this is a scraped version of it.

I lost mod rights and all the posts were deleted.

Are we talking about the instance that shits on Signal under miscellaneous pretenses and at the same time pushing fucking Telegram? The ones who will deconstruct any secure messaging proposal with either overly technical or just generic defeatism? Only idiots get their secure messaging counter-intelligence from ML. I have written them off as complete jokes even before I made my first fediverse account and I was just lurking.
