Likely slop |
No. |
|
Pretty sure I saw someone in IRC who was linking to boxlabs say they were working on a client they were filling with slop. I'm tired. |
Not a good look if you're calling irc clients slop when they add ircv3 capabilities, whilst simultaneously being the owner of a commercial entity that has cornered an "always connected" mobile market for years and charged a premium. |

no need to get personal swears |

Nothing personal, I respond to spurious claims by simply pointing out the
monopoly and gatekeeping. There's too much drama in the world, and we need
to be kind to each other. If HexDroid is getting more downloads than
IRCCloud and ruining the paid subscription numbers, just say so. The fact
that a person behind a commercial entity is involved in gatekeeping open
source clients is ridiculous.

I double checked my logs. There was a person who posted a couple of screenshots hosted on boxlabs and literally posted in IRC "I have a fork of Hexchat I've been filling full of AI slop." But on closer inspection it looks like this wasn't you. I apologise for the error. However, the initial response from 3 other people to this PR was that this looked like an LLM project. The website almost certainly is. AI assisted projects or websites aren't banned outright, but we do try to keep low effort submissions out, especially if the submitter has no history of contribution or even discussion in the IRCv3 working group. Reputation makes a difference. We won't download or install submissions usually, and we can't verify support levels claimed, but if there are strong signals that a submission has involved less effort than it takes to do even a basic smell test, then we'll likely close the PR. I'll reopen this submission because I mistook you for someone else, and I will ask others to make a decision on merging, but please understand this from a maintainer's point of view when we receive multiple submissions that look suspicious. |

I also have a public website at https://paste.boxlabs.uk/img where the
public can upload images, which is used by lots of IRC users.
I accept your apology and I apologise for what I've said.
