This was honestly my biggest fear for a lot of FOSS applications.

Not necessarily in a malicious way (although there's certainly that happening as well). I think there's a lot of users who want to contribute, but don't know how to code, and suddenly think...hey...this is great! I can help out now!

Well meaning slop is still slop.
