    the year of betrayal continues: https://lobste.rs/s/h0eate/updates_site_guidelines_ai_llm_tags

    admittedly I have been expecting this for a while, but lobsters just removed the vibecoding tag, which formerly allowed you to filter slop stories out of your front page

    this was the one thing that was keeping that site tolerable to use in the deluge of crap

    hate to cede this to the celery men but I don't really see myself continuing to use that site now that the mods are showing their true colors

    the site had its problems, but the lobsters IRC channel on libera chat has up till now been quite good, and I'll be sad to say goodbye

    three days in (after lobsters mods caved to the langlemangle bros): I had left the IRC channel and purged the site out of my browser history, and honestly I haven't been reflexively reaching for it like I thought I would

    couple times I've opened a new tab, typed "lo" and saw that it completed to "localhost" and then thought, "oh right" and went back to whatever I was doing

    so I'm spending more time in chat and focusing on communities what do value solidarity; overall a win

    @technomancy
    > While `vibecoding` is no longer an active tag, we still feel that a subset of the tooling related discussions are relevant to the site. While this is reaching far back into the annals of computing history, tools like compilers, databases, testing, and vcs had similar points of consternation and concern when they were introduced. I'm not going to claim that I'm able to guess how the industry is going to shape up, but my gut feeling is that but my gut feeling is that it's going to be closer to something like we've seen with systemd than compilers. This new tag `ai-tooling` covers "The design, ux, development of AI/LLM-powered tools themselves".

    Seriously? Compared it to compilers, seriously?

    @tusharhero idk, I think this is a perfect example of centrism taken to its logical conclusion

    mods have multiple times implied that the problem with the situation is that people aren't nice enough to those that come in and destroy our communities
