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.
school is out and all the kids are at home.
there’s been up uptick in lots of shitty things around here.
over all since about mid to late March post and comment quality has dropped significantly.
then by about mid August things stabilize just in time for winter break. then by mid January quality returns until mid to late march again.
Lemmy’s Eternal September moment is starting it would seem…
didn’t even realize this had a name 😂
I noticed this happening last year as well, but this year certainly has a stronger presence.
