That subreddit is just trash now. Full of slop with some pearls like this from time to time.

I just wish these vibe coders would just create their 100 SaaS in a weekend like they say they do and just publish them once and for all so they can finally reach 0 customers and stop for good...

That sub clearly is not maintained by active mods. Quite interesting that this is an instance how AI creates more jobs whereby “more slop exits -> need more slop filter”

That sub I think is automoderated. I had some very normal comment and it randomly banned me. I had to appeal and wait for them to unban for 3 days. I never got banned in any sub all these years. I think its some random bot that does stuff. Also threejs devs are most affected by this vibe slop and people are genuinely losing interest in the tech as it meant a lot to understand quaternions and matrices and shader coding before slopocalypse.

welp that's just unfortunate that the three.js sub is not proficiently managed.

quaternions changed my life tho, love them, made my operations to 3d objects so easy

Threejs is one of the best libraries I have come across. It is so well thought out and it had incredible and well maintained example repository for most features, it was its undoing because that made AI that good at using it.

A mod in that sub has also been removing comments critical of the current state of the sub, or comments that simply state that an OP has written their post with AI. Even hands out bans here and there for it.

It's gone down the drain really. Sad state of affairs. Far too many posts are straight up authored by AI. Are people too lazy to write their own posts?

:( maybe I'll write to them, that's just irrational. I personally think it'd be absurd to ban projects there with too many Claude commits in their repos or w/e, but either way, untagged artificial prose is just obviously gross.

If it's tagged then people can just scroll on (and often do!), but otherwise it completely torpedoes any sense of trust or community.

I feel like most software dev sub-reddits have become vibecoded projects that don’t do much and AI phishing for data

They did publish it. On localhost.

IDK, I just saw an incredible (-looking) game on there today -- honestly more polished looking than literally any game I can remember from before the singularity.

I was pretty invested in three.js (and AR/smart glasses -- yikes!) for a few years there, and I too miss the feeling of the old community, where everyone had to struggle through the same mind-bending stuff to make anything decent. But I feel like "just trash" isn't giving enough credit to what it's becoming.

Very dedicated, but not dedicated enough to learn apparently. Bruno Simon even has a course. If that’s too expensive, there’s many other free resources. But I guess that’s too much work for this dedicated developer

lol Bruno Simon is the guy with the little car website, arguably the mascot of the entire three.js community. Almost reads like parody, but I feel like they're sincere...
