"Instead, ask your colleagues or your community on Twitter why you should pick this project over another. You can also start a new discussion or create an issue on GitHub asking for other people's experiences."

As it gets easier and cheaper to run LLM-based bots, I wonder how long this approach will keep working. Devs in mid-to-large companies should have colleagues they can ask directly, but smaller startups might be vulnerable to being artificially swayed towards specific options.

I'd rather just do without than having a "community" on twitter.

Assuming the issues aren’t also hijacked it’s pretty easy to do your own sanity check of a project. Takes no more than a few minutes of archeology in the code and issue tracker.

Also, Twitter has a fomo/cool bias which is really terrible for software imo. Boring is usually better.
