    They also forgot to change r/selfhosted from when they posted it to reddit... https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1ter9n9/refearnapp_opensource_selfhosted_affiliate/

    As well as: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1sk4oqw/refearnapp_selfhosted_opensource_affiliate/

    Here's their answers to "Expand the replies to this comment to learn how AI was used in this post/project":

    it is written by ai i give the idea then ai writes that

    this post is written by ai. i only give it thought on what idea it should post and it generated everything.

    Their post history contains a mixture of comments with grammar like the above as well as many comments with excellent grammar, often containing em dashes. It seems like they only post on Reddit using AI comments to karma farm so they can spam AI generated posts like this to try to get some people to pay for their hosting subscription for their vibe coded app.

    I have written with a healthy helping of dashes for a long time (regular ass - unless auto-correct switches it to an em-dash. This AI proliferation of em-dashes (and people's awareness of it) means I get over-scrutinized 😟

    I think you should make it clearer in this post that you are selling hosting services for this. It feels like this is self promotion but without transparency otherwise.

    What self-hosted software you use is not hosted on some third party forge?

    Even that is questionable to say the least: while codeberg is the main fogejo contributor, the forgejo project and codeberg are separate entities with separate governance and funding.

    But Forgejo code is hosted on a Forgejo instance. Not a third party forge like Gitlab, Bitbucket, etc

    That's called dogfooding, not self-hosting :)

    Let me get this straight though: I'm not saying no project self-hosts their code (eg. IIRC both KDE and Gnome do), I'm just saying that the majority of FOSS projects (including those that are dedicated to self hosters) does rely on some sort of third party to host their source code.

    I don't think it's fair to criticize a FOSS project just because they rely on a third party (even commercial ones) to publish their source code.

    Github is like the Microsoft of 3rd party forges.
