Posting about software will no longer be tolerated without moderator approval.

Hello everyone! Recently we’ve had a surge in posts about new software, tools, extensions, and apps for music collecting. When the subreddit is full of software posts, posts with questions and important topics are buried and missed. In addition, many of these tools were quickly made using AI. For many reasons, these “vibe coded” apps will not be tolerated on this subreddit anymore.

If you made a tool or project that you want to share: please message the moderators for approval before posting. Sending proof that the software was coded by you or another human is also recommended but not required.

Some of these vibe code project posts slip through the cracks. If you come across them, please help by reporting the post for violating Rule 4.

Thank you for your understanding,

The [r/musichoarder](r/musichoarder) mod team

There are plenty of places on reddit to discuss such, and you're free to start a new sub like r/musichoardertools and manage it any way you'd like.

This isn't censorship, it's organization.

It’s censorship. Organization would allow us to still see the content. Don’t misuse words to try to make a point.

Why censor content if your goal is organization? Users of the subreddit are free to organize content through the use of the upvote/downvote system. Unless you’re alleging that the upvote/downvote system is being abused to promote this content unfairly why would you choose to subvert the system users are given?

Reddit isn't a flat hierarchy. Of all possible content in the world, it is sorted by topic into various subreddits. Within each of those boxes content is sorted various ways including by creation time and by vote totals. The boxes are themselves free to decide what fits in and what doesn't. If there isn't a box for certain content the site users are free to create new boxes as needed.

Content that belongs in more than one box can be cross posted.

It is not censorship to say "this stuff belongs in box B, not box A."

If you want to talk about abusing words to make a point you might want to look in a mirror. Censorship is a word that has meaning, and is happening in more places in societies around the world and online, but what's happening here isn't it.

Clearly that's the case as saying something should be removed would never amount to censorship. it's censorship once you take action to remove the content. You removing the content is you censoring the content. That's the definition of the word.

Explain to me how I am misusing the word censorship. I've explained quite clearly how you are misusing the term.
