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?
