What is it with the flood of brand new accounts coming here only to self-promote their vibe-coded slop on c/SelfHosted?
Title. If this were Reddit, I could at least see it from the angle of a large audience. But the Fediverse is far too small for that. It's like every other day there's some 1 hour old account posting their slop-coded crap to c/SelfHosted.
Like, yes, brand new internet rando, I'll totally install your vibe-coded slop that makes wild claims about being a super secure messenger or whatever grand claim you're making. I actually might it it was posted by someone with a positive history here, but these are brand new accounts seemingly unconnected to anyone otherwise active on this platform.
Is it just a "flood the zone" strategy on their part? I'm not active anywhere else anymore, so maybe they're flinging their slop all over and I only notice it here.
Who is Mr. Morrow, and why does MandaloreGaming have such a visceral reaction whenever his discord chat starts posting his face?
I'm watching Mandy's old RING 2 stream VODs (because I like watching grown men fail at slide puzzles, don't judge) and he lost it when the Lowry chat started posting gifs and photoshops of Morrow. I know that every single Lowry post is an incomprehensible rabbit hole of in-jokes and references, but I have nothing on Mr. Morrow other than the one appearance in his SOMA video. What context am I missing?
What's the deal with the constant downvotes on the constantly recycled 'My beloved King' / 'For You, My Hero' / 'For my awesome prince' / etc. community? - EDIT: Did I say something wrong?
It might be a different user, a different community name, but it's always the same: mostly NSFW pictures (sometimes not even revealing), 0 comments and a ~-6 score. The pictures are mostly about an erotic/romantic encounter between two people. Then the community disappears, resurfaces with a randomly similar name, and the same happens again.
Why?
Cropping Comics
Kinda curious about this; what's the deal with folks cutting off the artist's name and site?
I read the "ads" argument in the comments, but I don't buy it as attribution isn't an advert. So what's it actually all about?
What's the drama about Upscrolled social platform?
I first heard of it during US part of TikTok being sold off. The mass migration started only month ago and I am already reading about its questionable ethics. This is pretty fast.
What's up with 'Romanian prison' and loving the music?
The comment section is flooded with comments regarding Romanian prison and the prisoners (?) loving the music.
I never came across that meme. Where/what did it originate from?
What's all the recent fuss about the number 67?
I gather it's supposed to mean something (though I don't see any meaning behind numbers aside from literal counting and measuring), but seriously, what's up with 67 lately?
Corn memes
Ok, what’s up with the corn memes all over Lemmy (other sites too?)?
