    That being said, it should be okay for users to call out an obvious grift, or a “nonsense repo” that’s actually pure slop.

    Especially if the disclosure is blatantly a lie, absolutely. I’d also say if you see any indicators that they are lying in the disclosure, its still worthy of reporting - but I would say report and separately message the “why”, to limit visibility of seeing those indicators.

    Edit: AGPL, no paywall, fully approved for posting.

    @DepthSight@lemmy.world you made this post right in the middle of a bigger conversation around promotional posts, so be aware that this post may be removed later pending the outcome of that discussion in the meta thread here:

    https://lemmy.world/post/48462124/24369166

    For everyone else, here is why I’m leaving the thread up:

    • Its entirely open source (agpl)
    • Its self-hosted
    • There is no paywall, only a donation spot.

    Here is where I see a potential problem:

    • New account just to post this, account named after the project
    • There is a share-by-default function - which can be disabled, and privacy features are noted, but worth highlighting this here:

    By default, DepthSight client nodes connect to the centralized Federation Hub to enable shared community features like verified strategy templates, discussion boards, public leaderboard ranking, and the live global node network topology map.

    For those coming here and reporting, please be aware this doesn’t blatantly break any rules imo, only the (extremely subjective) rule 2, which I don’t think fits for the reasons I noted above. Making a good reference for discussion in the meta.
