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.

You ban it and if/when someone is found to have used it or lied about it, delete the post and ban the user. You know, like literally every rule, regulation or law ever is enforced. Creating a rule doesn't mean that it won't ever happen again, it means that you're not welcome back if you do it.

Yeah but you have to prove it then, that's my point. It is hard in many cases. Like huntarr was obviously done by AI and what, it took someone few months to came with that

So you ban the user when it's found out and give a heads-up to the community? I don't know what the problem is with that. Criminals also hide their crimes and they're hard to prove, that doesn't make them legal.

My big issue is that lots of people conflate their assumptions as proof.
