The recent influx of AI has lowered the barrier to entry to create your own projects. This development in itself is very interesting and we're curious to see how it'll change our world of SelfHosting in the future. The negative side of this however is the influx of AI generated posts, vibe-coded projects over a weekend and many others. Normally, the community votes with its voice. But with the high amount of posts flooding in every day, we've noticed a more negative and sometimes even hostile attitude towards these kinds of projects. The stance of the SelfHosted moderation team is that the main focus of this sub should be on services that can be selfhosted and their related topics. For example, but not limited to: alternatives to popular services, taking back control over your data and privacy, containerization, networking, security, etc. In order to bring back the focus on these main points of SelfHosting, we're introducing "Vibe code Friday". This means that anything AI-assisted or vibe-coded in relation to SelfHosting can be posted only on Fridays from here on out. Throughout the week, any app or project that falls within the category will be removed. Repeat-offenders will be timed out from posting. This is to reduce the flood of these personal projects being posted all the time. And hopefully bring back the focus to more mature projects within the community. In order to determine the difference (as going by code & commits alone can be a great indicator but by itself does not make a great case for what constitutes a vibe-coded or AI-assisted project) we've set the following guidelines: - Any project younger than a month old - With only one real collaborator (known AI persona's do not count, or are an even better indicator) - With obvious signs of vibe-coding* Will only be allowed on Vibe-code Fridays. We'll run this as a trial for at least a month. Sincerely, /r/SelfHosted mod team.   submitted by   /u/AutoModerator [link]   [comments]
