I've been enjoying reading article found on Bubbles.Town - its a bit of the hacker news model of upvoting but for indie-web blogs written by real people - none of which I've seen have a monetary incentive, paywall, pop-up, or other enshittified nonsense.

Id love to see more people voting and commenting on articles, and you can connect your existing fediverse account - you don't need to create a new one or anything!

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]):
