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]):

@cazabon@mindly.social I mean, isn’t Slopcentral github? Is this one of those white people ‘what do you mean everything isn’t mine all the time’ things?

@cazabon@mindly.social The term "slopcoders" disqualifies you in any way for continuing reading

@cazabon@mindly.social yet another giveaway is their phrasing : “Codeberg decided to” versus “Codeberg members voted to”

@cazabon@mindly.social I must say I am very pleased with Codeberg, and I'm glad I migrated my repositories there.

@cazabon@mindly.social I wonder how far this haram-LLM thing goes? Will the Defenders Against Slopcode fork Linux itself, now that even Linus sees some merit in LLMs?
