A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

there's a .cursor directory in there with a rule specifically telling it to not mark generated code as generated. I can't see how that could ever cause any issues /s

It really looks like every programmer wannabe is trying to bumrush a Discord codeslop for free internet fame points these days!

[–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

yeah agreed. I'm fully in support of an open source discord alternative, it's sorely needed, but expecting to vibe code real time communication tells me exactly which programmers have worked with real time systems before. RTC is not something you vibe code successfully haha.

So what do we call these? Cordslop?

Bringing back a meme from the very early '00s (if not earlier), I'd say something like "Cloning Discord is my passion".

Btw is it ai slop if I use AI to help me through if I do reviewing and googling and fact checking because I don't trust it? It is really good as a general knowledge source in my opinion

If you don't trust it, why use it? It's still slop in the end, just somewhat less slopified.

Consider: either you are smarter than the tool you use, in which case it doesn't really offer anything much, or you are dumber than the tool you use, in which case you wouldn't be qualified to judge its results anyway.
