My impression is that the biggest issue was the negative connotations of “vibecoding”, not it being too wide. If the tag was neutral and someone disagreed, it would be easy to resolve in most cases. Obviously, I could be wrong.
Now lobsters won’t accept submission of repos, despite them having a README that can be enough to start an interesting conversation, and LLM generated content will be tagged as spam, again with negative connotations.
I also liked to read some posts that now are off-topic under the “careers” umbrella. People sharing experiences about burnout, and the responses in comments, helped me personally. I’m sad lobsters is not the place for that now.
And most importantly: it is complicated, IMHO. People looking to use lobsters instead of contributing won’t pay attention, and for those that didn’t want to read LLM stuff and yet enjoy lobsters, things are going to be harder.
Anyway, thanks for trying. The work mods do is very appreciated.
Thanks for the response.
