What is it with the flood of brand new accounts coming here only to self-promote their vibe-coded slop on c/SelfHosted? (dubvee.org)

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.

I've seen a lot of reddit-like behavior here lately.

I think a lot of them are being banned for saying relatively benign shit about Israel, and are coming here.

I just wish they'd leave their "cake day" bullshit there.
