FreeAssembly
this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.
in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.
some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:
- all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
- this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
- don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

My immediate correlation is cargo deny, which is a tool for Rust devs to assert some control over the dependency supply chain.
So maybe "Supply denAI list"?
As for "concerned moderates", a useful thing to maybe convince people who are on the fence but are not dipshits that this is a real issue would be to make the supply chain framing clear – relying on slopware is bad not only for the obvious ethical reasons, but also do you really want to depend on a lib that accepts slop PRs? Really???
Two ideas to help with inspiration:
- So functionally, we are talking about a slop repository. That brings to mind a trough or a latrine. Slopository kind of works because it also sounds like "suppository", and brings to mind a certain gaffe by former prime minister of Australia.
- The Germans have a style of toilet known as the "Flachspüler", which has a shelf for viewing your poop before flushing it, so maybe something based on that or a nickname for it. I've seen "poop shelf" and "observation deck", but maybe there are others.
Otherwise, here are some low-effort names with a common theme:
- Shithub/ShitBucket
- Perfarce
- Hurr-Durr-curial
Suppository seems fine, because you can stick it right up your ass.
ShitBucket is quite funny
used to call it ShitFuckit last time I worked a lot with Atlassian stack

- uSlop Origin
- SlopwareForge
- Microslop Copilot 364
Slopignore is very good, two votes
- OpenSlopWatch
- the Human Software Project
- Slopware Detector
- Rossum's Universal Sloppums
- the Reliable Software Initiative
I like "The Human Software Project" for being a rare non-pejorative submission.
I do think that it makes more sense for the inverse mission (promoting slop-free software rather than shaming slopware), though.

Note: someone linked to this on Reddit, so I'll add that it's always a good security play to exclude code that's maintained by dingdongs.
"Plug-N-Plague" is great. "ClodCode" too but I fear that tying a title to a product name will inevitably become outdated when they drop the Claude brand

cloptoilet? hot slops? "The list of untrustworthy dependencies"?
I don't see why it can't all be microslop. Give the ol MS a good legacy
In keeping with the emphasis on Open Source, I thought of that old adage about not keeping one's mind too open. I feel like there's got to be a good bit somewhere in there about projects who's Brain Fell Out. The BFO List or something of that nature maybe?
Alternatively, something about vibe coding? Vibe-based Open Software? Source Open, Bad Vibes?
Vibe-Based. Now Eschews Trust?
Junk Added Vibe Awareness?
Cunts++?

I'm thinking "take something with a word in it that rhymes with slop" like "Slopic Thunder" or "A Slop in the Bucket"

Either Clanker Watch or Clankerware - either would work well IMO.
