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 It's not about the outcomes, it's about how they were achieved. "Exitus acta probat" is one hell of a way to go through life.
Yeah, maybe someone can whip together code that works using Ai. Does that make it okay how LLM infrastructure is killing any progress we've made towards mitigating climate change? How it rots people's brains? How it destroying the internet?
If not wanting the world to burn makes me an extremist, I will happily bear that mark of honor.
@Legit_Spaghetti The infrastructure isn't killing anything, that's just a lie made by these people who are delusional and think extremist things like oh this is run by fascists and these people are trying to be the next version of Hitlar, like come the fuck on people, stop indulging in your dumb delusions for once. @pixelfed
@alexchapman @Legit_Spaghetti @pixelfed Taking a "no entry" sign as both an insult and an invitation.
Bringining out the same three arguments at length.
You AI boosters are fucking *tedious*. And utterly predictable.
@helge OK then, thanks for that pointless reply lol. @Legit_Spaghetti @pixelfed
@pixelfed
cue the sloppers in 3 ... 2... 1...
