Should /c/opensource allow AI / slop-coded project posts, or remove them? (lemmy.ml)

We've been getting a lot of AI coded submissions recently, as well as lots of reports asking to remove them.

Should we remove these posts, or not?

You are just adding your oss preferences to open source here. I too have preferences, like no corp oss, no ads, no logins, no telemetry and so on, but i have to accept oss as oss more broadly.

I would recommend that you set your agent to filter out posts you don't want, but you would likely rather censor this sub than automate it with an agent..

    Just to be clear, do you mean that the user's user agent (lemmy client) should be capable of filtering out posts about vibecoded slop, perhaps by having lemmy communities require such posts to be tagged? Or do you mean that a LLM should curate what users see here?

    Posts must be relevant to the open source ideology

    Did you not read the full rule?

    How can something that is inherently closed sourced be in line with that rule?

    I’ll tug on that thread… so can we not use Windows or macOS to develop OSS code on? It has to be on a Linux machine? What if the BIOS is closed source or it’s using binary blobs for the video drivers?
