If you choose to selfhost an app, I think its fair for people to criticize you for it being vibe coded. Choosing to run it on your servers and then telling people you've done so is an effective endorsement you can't just handwave by saying you didn't code it.

Also as the owner and maintainer of your server, you should do some due diligence on what you host. Code without a community backing it is more likely to have security flaws go unnoticed, especially if the code isn't even being written by a human.

The same way emdashes and negative parallelisms get overused by LLMs, so will security flaws. Someone will find an exploit and that same exploit will then be usable against tons of vibe coded projects, in a way human written code, which is more varied even if "worse" in other ways, would have prevented
