Then can you take yourselves back to Reddit or something? This used to be an interesting place to visit that was differentiated from other “hot take” havens on the net.
I find that actually this is basically reddit already. The political reinforcement circle jerk is the same. The bad faith arguments are the same, often by people parroting the accepted status quo while anonymously flagging / downvoting / misrepresenting arguments to those of us with our actual names on our profiles.
Well, when a good faith [0] submission from a respectable unaffiliated developer is disparaged on a place like reddit by some heavy-handed action, a natural reaction can be something like "Who died and made you bhagwan?"
Now that you mention it, the similarity is more obvious than I thought.
[0] OK, moderate faith, "there's an LLM involved so it's got to be crapware".
Not my downvote btw, never have never will, that's almost as chickenshit as can be. Almost.
I appreciate effort to make this a better place, I just would rather do it with upvotes more than anything else.
I don't prefer slop at all, plus people already know Microsoft has declined more in one recent year than any other, and this Microslop site is kind of a lame response, but it did draw some worthwhile comments. This is the kind of thing that has been on peoples' minds so that's what comes out.
I don't think it's gostsamo promoting his own work, just something he ran across that emphasizes how bad it could get or maybe how bad it already is in some quarters.
Pure slop really and it's bound to get the strongest reaction, but quite interesting when plenty of 90% slop is passing under the radar quite regularly.
