> For example, requiring the “vibecoding” tag on all stories about AI even though very few of them are about vibecoding.

No? You either use AI or vibecoding, like the tag page says:

I should have said “all stories about AI usage” which is exactly what your link says. If you post anything related to using or exploring AI, it’s forced to use the vibecoding tag. It doesn’t matter if it’s about vibecoding or coding at all.

Forcing the “vibecoding” tag on to stories that aren’t vibecoding related has been a debate on the site for a while: https://lobste.rs/s/gkzmfy/let_s_rename_vibecoding_tag_llms

The top voted comments on that thread get to the meat of the issue. Vibecoding was embraced as a derogatory term and applied broadly to every LLM related topic, even when vibecoding wasn’t involved.
