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.


Cool let’s drive public discourse down by invading everybody’s privacy. Love that for us.
