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 Great news!

[auxonic@ottawa.place]

@pixelfed great!

[yuvalne@433.world]

@pixelfed thank you for making the right decision

[curiousmagpie@beige.party]

@pixelfed@mastodon.social not sure how much I would trust someone who couldn't make this decision on their own.

[__styx__@piaille.fr]

@pixelfed great position
I bet your code base will be way healthier compared to others once the poison in the well of ai contribution start to accumulate

[thejacenallen@mastodon.social]

@pixelfed that’s great

[armavica@social.sciences.re]

@pixelfed Thank you!!

[laukidh@infosec.exchange]

@CuriousMagpie they block you for that?

[alexchapman@vee.seedy.cc]

@pixelfed Actually banning agentic contributions isn't really a good idea, as people can actually achieve good quality with coding agents.

@pixelfed it might be pretty unrealistic to keep AI entirely out of your code if you base it on any other open source code that’s not yours. A range of other projects struggle with that.

[mattwebbdev@veganism.social]

@CuriousMagpie If he did block you, you're not missing out on anything.

[bluewinds@tech.lgbt]

@CuriousMagpie Remember to reward behavior you want to see. This is good news!

There's nothing so demoralizing as doing what somewhat wants and then getting chastised *anyway*.

@timaeus it might be pretty unrealistic to keep poison entirely out of your food if you source it from any other garden that’s not yours. A range of other gardens struggle with that.

@winterknell @pixelfed that’s a good one ! A slightly modified metaphor with respect to software development would be that poisoned compost you use in an organic garden for growing crops cannot be avoided if you get it from your neighbor using pesticides.

[jmd777@mastodon.world]

@pixelfed excellent!

[timaeus@nrw.social]

@winterknell @pixelfed that’s the dilemma of every idealistic project. I struggled with that often.

[ronvanderende@mastodon.nl]

@pixelfed looks like this might be a good week after all

[lariscusobscurus@wien.rocks]

@pixelfed Genuinely great to hear.
