Installing Slop Mop

About a minute, on desktop Chrome or a Chromium browser such as Comet, Brave, Opera, Arc or Vivaldi, all of which install from the Chrome Web Store. Microsoft Edge, Safari and Firefox are coming soon, each from its own store.

  1. Open your browser's store listing. Add to browser takes you to Slop Mop's listing in your browser's extension store. Check the publisher is Slop Mop and the listing links back to slopmop.lol: copycat extensions exist for most things that get popular.
  2. Add it, and read the permission. Click the store's add button. Your browser asks to let it read and change your data on linkedin.com. That is the whole permission: enough to read post text and draw over the feed, on LinkedIn only. Click Add extension. What it sends and keeps is in the privacy policy.
  3. Read the first-run page. A new tab opens explaining what Slop Mop does and what leaves your browser. Confirm it and Slop Mop starts working. Nothing is judged until you do.
  4. Pin the mop. Click the puzzle-piece icon to the right of the address bar, find Slop Mop, and click the pin. The mop now sits in your toolbar, one click from the mode and sensitivity settings.
  5. Reload LinkedIn. Tabs that were already open need a reload before Slop Mop can see them. Scroll your feed: posts get judged just before they reach you.

Open the store listing

Using it

Mode and sensitivity

Click the mop in your toolbar. Hide folds suspected slop; Highlight tints the post's mop yellow or red and hides nothing. Mild, Moderate and Aggressive set how easily a post gets flagged.

Opening a folded post

Click the strip's Show post button and the post unfolds in place. Click any post's mop to see what the model noticed.

When it gets one wrong

Click the mop icon beside the post's “…” menu and vote No, Maybe or Probably. Not sure clears your vote. Your vote overrides the score for your feed. When your vote disagrees with Slop Mop's verdict, the post's text is saved and a person at Artimovo reviews it; the ones it got wrong become training examples for tuning the tells and the score. You can't vote on your own posts: the panel has no vote on them.

You can vote before you have an account. Your vote changes your feed straight away; in the community tally it counts as a hundredth of a vote until you sign up, and then every vote that browser has cast counts in full. Three common cases:

Turning it off

Use the switch in the popup to pause it: off is a real off, with no scanning and no server calls. To remove it, right-click the mop and choose Remove (Chrome, Edge and Chromium browsers), or remove it from your browser's extensions settings (Firefox and Safari).

Something's wrong with scoring

If a post shows Couldn't score this post or returned a web page instead of data: Slop Mop checks each post by sending its text to api.slopmop.lol. Either message means something on your network answered instead of our server. It's almost always a network setting, not a problem with your install or with Slop Mop.

1. See what's answering

Open https://api.slopmop.lol/api/v1/health in a new tab.

{"ok":true, …}The connection is fine right now. Reload LinkedIn: it was a brief interruption.
A login, “access denied” or “site blocked” pageThat page usually names what's intercepting. Find it in step 2.

2. Fix it by cause

Hotel, airport, café or other public wifiOpen any plain http:// site, such as neverssl.com, to bring up the wifi's login page. Accept it, then reload LinkedIn.
A work or school network, proxy or web filterThe network is blocking the domain. Ask your IT team to allow api.slopmop.lol, or switch to a personal network or phone hotspot.
A VPNTurn it off, or pick a different server, then retry. Some VPNs block domains they don't recognise.
DNS filtering or an ad-blockerPi-hole, NextDNS, AdGuard or router filtering: add api.slopmop.lol to the allowlist.
Antivirus or “web protection” softwareAdd an exception for api.slopmop.lol, or turn the web shield off briefly to confirm.
Other browser extensionsTry an incognito window with only Slop Mop enabled (allow it under Details → Allow in Incognito). If it works there, another extension is interfering.

3. Confirm it's your network

Try again on a different network, such as a phone hotspot. If it works there, your original network is the cause.

Other messages you might see

Daily limit reachedEach install can check 250 posts a day. The count resets at midnight UTC, and posts already scored keep working.
Requests from cloud or hosting-provider IP ranges aren't acceptedSlop Mop blocks traffic from data-centre networks to stop automated abuse. If you're on a VPN or cloud desktop, switch it off.
Too many requestsYou're scrolling faster than the per-minute limit. Slop Mop slows down on its own and catches up.
Nothing happens at allReload the LinkedIn tab, and check the popup switch is on. Slop Mop only works in the main feed on desktop LinkedIn. When the model isn't confident about a post, it leaves it alone, so a quiet feed can simply mean a clean one.
