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.

    Yeah, I think that’s it. This is the lowest hanging fruit with an <input type="text" field that gets picked up by LLM scrapers. :sigh:
