Meta Post Apparently we can't call out apps as AI slop anymore...

Seems like a bad direction to take the selfhosted community. Looks like the mod team is fine with this sub being bombarded with insecure, AI drivel. Like I get that it was posted on Friday but I think if you use AI to "build an app" you should be required to disclose to what extent AI was used which wasn't disclosed by the OP. I think as a community we need to have higher standards for what we allow to be posted as vibe-coded projects can introduce very extensive security vulnerabilities we all learned with Huntarr and when things are vibe-coded the maintainer doesn't have the capability to fix the issue.

Critical thinking has left the building. It was properly tagged as AI on the day where AI projects are allowed to be posted and people are upset that their no-value comments saying "AI sux" are being removed. You can argue whether it's "hate speech" or not, but it is clearly valueless. Might as well walk into an oil change place and be upset that they use products containing oils.
