Has anyone seen a community for software announcements which bans slopcoded submissions?
-
Are there any communities you're aware of which are suitable for software release announcements and which take a "no slopcode" stance?
Recently, several communities to which software project release announcements are posted have been swamped by slopcoded submissions such that it drowns out the non-slop stuff. These posts are usually one-off, short-lived, largely incomplete projects seeking free labor to QA, complete, and make usable something generated almost entirely by Claude, often by someone who admits they don't know how to program themselves. These largely don't even bother to write the post content themselves, but also have AI generate it. A couple of posters repeatedly repost the same basic post, trying to get other people to pick up the skeleton and turn it into a real project. Thankfully, these are pretty easy to identify at the moment because they generally take the same form: "Hi I'm X, and (I'm the author of/I've been building) Y, (description of software). (Bullet list of features). (Caveat about incompleteness "80%!!"). (Appeal for testers/contributors/ideas)."
I'm hoping to find a community which is not specifically focused on anti-AI topics, but on software that happens to be human-coded: where it's in the community rules, not the title.
There are a metric ton of software-related communities across the fediverse; there are a lot of places for slopcoders to post their projects -- are there any software communities which have rules against slop postings?
Linus Torvalds talked on Linus Tech Tips video about how he uses AI, and it was basically the lazy way everyone hates not the way yall are semiok with, no more linux release announcements on reddit?

Define it too loosely and you ban even Linux.
Yeah. That's a whole can of worms by itself.
older than 6 months and it has to have continued to receive updates.
It would indeed prevent the worst slop. I wonder if it isn't throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Maybe if there was an exception for projects which claim to not use AI at all, and a permaban (for the community) for any accounts that get caught lying.
Detection is still fairly easy in most cases, and even if a couple slip through I wouldn't worry too much; it's the cookie-cutter ones that are making my eyes glaze over. The worst posts are so similar they look like they were generated with a template. In many cases, code-wise, you can look at the history for Claude commits. My objective isn't to punish AI users, its to cut down on the noise. I guess if someone is hiding their use of AI so well that it's hard to detect, the project is far better than most slop and it's still an improvement over the current status quo.
Ban projects without disclosure, AI projects are still interesting to me, since it's projects people typically don't want to spend the time making since they are niche, overcomplicated, tedious and time concsuming or have no money in it. Just look at gamebashing, people have likely wanted to combine games before (ik i have), we've never seen it at this level.
I don't like when people try to pass stuff off as their own work when they only direct an AI, ideally disclose the agent/model. It just feels gatekeepery, same as when ppl make claims about ai still being mediocre when it's definitely capable of making these projects better than most medicore developers, aka the majority of them. Are we overpraising ppl for getting a cs degree and doing some throwaway project inspired by an existing better one while shitting on Ai Project even tho many have been unique and intresting, doing something different than the norm.
Ideally we live in a word where Ai software and features inspire actual devs to see that those features work and make them want them for themselves. End goal being using real human work and just using AI to get the concept out and show it's feasible.
