The self-hosted community has a very good take in my opinion. Especially facing the fact that new slop vaporware often comes with new accounts that just advertise the "product".

Disclosure about AI use, account minimums, and mods having discretion to ban obvious junk spam.

Agreed. Needs to be disclosed in the title of the post as having AI involvement, and show signs of active maintenance. Anyone can now oneshot some slop that's nothing but a waste of our time, but it takes good developers to maintain, secure and expand.

5 days old, nope, hasn't been touched in months, nope. Dozens of active human participants, and/or a reasonable history of active development and to a lesser degree stars or equivalent, sure.

It's a bit more work for a poster, but I think it can keep quality high for project posts. Should be voted on by the community and made a rule.

Totally agree. The project has to be developed by someone that knows what they're doing.
