@davidgerard @david_chisnall I think of it like a sacrificial anode; if that tag didn't exist, the rest of the site would be much worse
@technomancy @davidgerard @david_chisnall unfortunately, I don't think you can block users (you can of course use user scripting to do so).
I haven't seen that much of AI boosters spilling outside the vibecoding tag.
But yeah, my love of Lobsters has dampened a bit. But I cannot think of any other measure to fix this (other than the tag) that would feel "right".
I wish people would stop engaging. I think they'd get tired quite soon.
@coder @david_chisnall @technomancy i don't think "ignore the spammers" has ever worked in history and it's not clear why you think it would.
