Pixelfed bans AI generated contributions.
We heard you! We are not accepting any AI or agentic code contributions, and will keep building Pixelfed by hand.
Thank you for your feedback!

@pixelfed I wonder, does this apply to security vulnerabilities as well, what happens if someone uses an LLM and finds a genuine vulnerability, is it just gonna get ignored because it comes from an LLM, the models are actually good at this...
@rebootl If they report a legit vulnerability, we can work on our own fix (and code) and wouldn't be an issue.
@pixelfed Yes! Let's not use power tools to build a house! Because why would we!
@pixelfed Dank maar volgens mij zijn er nog veel bugs. Gelukkig hou ik wat echt belangrijk is en er toe doet in eigen bewaring.
@pixelfed thanks, I was this 🤏 close to consider phasing out a Pixelfed instance if it the software became slopware.
@pixelfed Any Business that rejects Ai Im automatically a fan of !
A clear contribution policy saves maintainers from reviewing work they cannot safely merge. It also tells newcomers exactly where human judgment still matters.
@pixelfed even though there is a stronger consensus that using AI will degrade the project quality in the long term, I personally feel like we have to find middle ground. Completely abandoning AI will slow down progress. I see so many pain points in using the #pixelfed app itself. I feel, goal should be to make OSS genuine alternative to private software and taking AI's help, will help us achieve it. But doing a complete vibe coding is a no no. Tools like auto completion are really helpful tools
@pixelfed that's great news! even in a time where vibe coding or contributions related to it are becoming more and more common even though i don't think vibe coding should be like that or should even be a thing at most but regardless that's still great news
@pixelfed well that’s dumb. Since when do users dictate anything?
@pixelfed You will thank your earlier self when you have to go back and edit code in the future.
@pixelfed a step towards the right direction
@pixelfed
Great. Now unban my @LargeGiraffe account.
@pixelfed Actually banning agentic contributions isn't really a good idea, as people can actually achieve good quality with coding agents.
@alexchapman @pixelfed
Pixelfed made a decision, a fresh and bold one, and I'd like to hope it's not up for debate.
@cuirass_entertainment Well, the maintainor didn't originally wanna make it, but anti-AI extremists pushed him to it. @pixelfed
@alexchapman "Anti-ai extremists" fuck off, either you're being a troll or you're actually braindead. If being against the fascist slop machine makes me an extremist then so be it, being extreme isn't bad. MLK was an extremist in his age @cuirass_entertainment @pixelfed
@sackofbones I'm neither, the anti-AI people need to give it a fucking rest. @cuirass_entertainment @pixelfed
@alexchapman So the latter, got it. If you aren't against it then you're for it, in this case, like with fascism.
> the anti-AI people need to give it a fucking rest
"The anti fascist people need to give it a fucking rest"
Now tell me you think I should take a rest opposing the fascist failed technology burning up the planet and wasting so many precious resources that cements in place the permanent under class while empowering the ruling class to control literally everything we do?
@cuirass_entertainment @pixelfed
@sackofbones Fascism has nothing to do with this. @cuirass_entertainment @pixelfed
@alexchapman So something made and controlled by fascists has nothing to do with fascism? @cuirass_entertainment @pixelfed
@sackofbones Its not controled by fascists, that's just a lie by you extremists. @cuirass_entertainment @pixelfed
