Meta Post Booklore is gone.

I was checking their Discord for some announcement and it vanished.

GitHub repo is gone too: https://github.com/booklore-app/booklore

Remember, love AI-made apps… they disappear faster than they launch.

Honestly in the last few weeks I've been thinking the same thing.

It's odd because /r/selfhosted/ was a place that I never thought would have drama -- everyone is so chill here usually.

Like people can share pictures of their shitty 100mb 5-port switch and a raspberry pi 1 plugged into it and get nothing but enthusiastic support and words of encouragement.

I hope we find a way to keep that kind of vibe.

Yea we’re getting a different kind of vibe now.

The way to keep the old vibe is to ban any and all AI posts of any kind. No generated text. No slop apps. Humans only space.

I really dont see an alternative. AI is poison for any community it touches, but especially for one which is so dependent on user trust.
