LLMs definitely kills the trust in open source software, because now everything can be a vibe-coded mess and it's sometimes hard to check.
yeah it's to the point now where if I see emojis in the readme.md on the repo I just don't even bother.
Check out this one I came across earlier - https://github.com/Jtensetti/fediverse-career-nexus/blob/main/README.md
It's a federated LinkedIn. ofc it's vibe coded.
Who actually tried this?
A handful of people - https://mastodon.social/tags/noltosocial
3? I understand it's a start, but it's not so impressive.
I'm more interested in actual user feedback because a product like that is quite an ambitious use case and advertised as ready to use with tons of features.
