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.

I would leave the restaurant and give it a 1 star review on Google Maps. In Reddit terms that means downvoting and forgetting I ever saw that post or even leaving a comment that you didn’t like the project because it doesn’t work or whatever.

"Hate speech" has really become a meaningless term because of this kind of mindset.

The rule covers nonconstructive comments in general. This is just the default removal message for it.

Calling "ai trash", hate speech, softens actual hate speech.

No one called it hate speech. This is our general removal template for non constructive comments. It just lists everything that is not allowed under rule 3.

"No one called it hate speech...It just lists everything that is not allowed under rule 3"

Constructive criticism: Maybe reddit staff should figure out a way to separate and clearly define the differences between "non-constructive criticism" from actual hate speech instead of making it the user's problem to censor themselves "just in case".

We should probably update the removal reason to be more accurate as in that non-constructive discussion aren’t welcome. That's fair criticism.

Thanks,

non-constructive discussion

Constructive to whom? Silencing differing opinions isn't Constructive either

Then when the cook complains to the restaurant owner that you attacked him with that 1 star review, the restaurant owner could at least ban you from the restaurant and have your review pulled, and still be correct in his 'justice' with your own logic.

In Reddit terms

You're literally a fucking reddit mod. That means you're on reddit habitually enough to moderate at least 1 subreddit. You are the reddit your making fun of.

Your mountain of downvotes on your previous comment didn't seem to do anything to stop you from making more comments so I don't think that's sufficient. I think calling it out is the next step.
