So, Codeberg (which is a FOSS/freedom-focused code hosting site) is run as a cooperative, with members able to nominate measures/policies and vote on them etc. They just had a vote and approved policies making "AI" / LLM-based projects basically unwelcome there. The vote wasn't close; 70% voted in favour of the policy. It's not a hard & fast "if you use LLM, you're banned" or anything of the sort - it's quite a measured, reasoned stance. The slopcoders are freaking out. They just don't understand how this is possible. Imagine! A community of people that makes their own decisions and you can't just make them do what you want or ignore them and consume their resources without their consent! "I like slopcoding, actually" is turning out to be a *really* good litmus test for people you want to have absolutely nothing to do with your project or your community. Look at some of the whining (this is the only reason I would ever link to YCombinator [1]): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49021856 [1] Your occasional and irregular reminder: "Hacker" "News" is neither. #NoAI #NoLLM #sloperator #slopcoding #vibecoding #consent #Codeberg #hosting #forge #community #FOSS #HackerNews #YCombinator

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org I get grumpy at our local TV station #CHCH who has #Forge out the back door and we get 15 minutes of NHL, MLB, NBA ... even frickin' Toronto Rock (don't get mad) on an evening when they win 3-1. Just a banner of the result. Forge has a decent attendance, but local media could really add bums in seats with proper hype. Hamilton Sports Group (TiCats & Forge) works hard but needs help.
